Send mail to SMTP server on same LAN from CLI (confused with Mutt and Postfix)

  1. You don't need postfix on your machine. You can configure mutt to use any SMTP server. This should be minimal mutt config.
set from      = [email protected]
set smtp_url  = smtp[s]://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]
set smtp_user = user     # if not specified in the smtp_url
set smtp_pass = password # if not specified in the smtp_url
  1. You can create muttrc in your home directory. Remember the cron you want to send e-mails must be executed by the same user.
