The mda (mail delivery agent) is a sendmail(8) like program that reads a message from standard input and delivers it to a mail relay. It also replaces all line endings with the carriage return-newline sequence as required by RFC 821. The Bcc: header is removed from the message if there is one.

Compiling and installing:

Launching just make is sufficient for GNU and FreeBSD. On Solaris you probably need to change the non-existing default compiler to gcc with make CC=gcc CXX=g++.

If you want to change the location of the configuration file, you have to modify the CONFIG_FILE variable with make CONFIG_FILE=path.

make help shows the defaults.

Examples

( echo -n 'To: <alice@bobs.company> Bcc: <archive@bobs.company> Subject: New files '; date; echo; find . -mtime -1 ) | mda -ti
