pymail is a simple Python script to synchronously send emails via SMTP. It is

often used on satellite systems without a fully-featured MTA.

Arguments:

  TO_ADDR      Send mail to TO_ADDR.

Application options:

  -a HEADER    Specify additional header fields on the command line such as

               "X-Loop: foo@bar" etc. You have to use quotes if the string

               contains spaces. This argument may be specified more than once,

               the headers will then be concatenated.

  -b BCC_ADDR  Send blind carbon copies to BCC_ADDR.

  -c CC_ADDR   Send carbon copies to list of users. CC_ADDR should be a comma

               separated list of names.

  -s SUBJECT   Specify subject on command line (only the first argument after

               the -s flag is used as a subject; be careful to quote subjects

               containing spaces).

  --help       Display this help message and exit
