The "sender.sh" script can send an email with attachment by using Amazon SES services (Amazon Simple E-mail Services). It needs the AWS cli tool.

Install

You have to install the AWS CLI tool. There are many ways to install the Amazon Web Service Command Line Client (aka AWS cli) (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html) As a Mac user, I prefer to use Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)

brew install awscli

After installing AWS cli, you must configure the credential file. You can use this command:

aws configure

Copy the sender.sh file to your desired directory and make the script executable:

chmod +x sender.sh

Usage

You can get help with -h or --help argument. The script will error if you don't supply any arguments.

$ ./sender.sh -h

Usage: sender.sh [-h|--help ]
        [-s|--subject <string> subject/title for email ]
        [-f|--from <email> ]
        [-r|--receiver|--receivers <emails> coma seperated emails ]
        [-b|--body <string> ]
        [-a|--attachment <filename> filepath ]

Example

./sender.sh -s test -f ambanmba@fakeaddress.net -r ambanmba@notmyrealmail.com -b "mail content" -a ~/Documents/Image_00001.jpg
