[plug] send e-mail via command line

[Jon Miller]

mail doesn't work either, the error was 

gateway:~# echo "Virus updates completed" |/usr/sbin/sendmail -s "IDE updated" jlmiller at mmtnetworks.com.au
sendmail: invalid option -- s
sendmail: fatal: usage: sendmail [options]
gateway:~#

I can get it to work this way without the -s , but I thought the -s was for the subject line.  Also I'm trying to get it to include a from: parameter.
The MTA is postfix on this system.

Thanks

Jon

Does it work if you use `mail` instead of `sendmail`?

PS. You forgot to include the exact error message or explanation of "did
not work"!
