Re: command line smtp client / command line email?

what are my options for a command line smtp client in cygwin?

I'd want to specify smtp server and from address. I'd like TLS/SSL to be supported by the command

sendmail , doesn't look like it exists on cygwin and I know on *nix it shuts down any postfix server so I guess it mighttry to shut down any smtp server I have running.

heirloom mailx  looks good, but doesn't exist for cygwin.

I can't see anything for sending an email from/in cygwin
There is ssmtp which runs smoothly and is configured sufficiently easily. I've been using it with a wrapper script to add some comfort in composing a mail. There is also 'email' but beware, it's broken and sometimes silently corrupts email bodies, so you'd better not use it until it gets fixed.
