¡Mosca! No confunda sendEmail con sendmail.

Sitio del proyecto: http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/

Dos virtudes, corre en Linux y en MS Windows, entre otros OS.

Instalación en Fedora

Está disponible un srpm en el sitio del proyecto.

$ wget http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/sendemail/sendEmail-1.55-1.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild --rebuild sendEmail-1.55-1.src.rpm
... la magia ...

$ ls ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/
sendEmail-1.55-1.noarch.rpm
$ sudo yum -C --nogpgcheck localinstall rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/sendEmail-1.55-1.noarch.rpm

Note que he usado par de opciones de yum, -C y –nogpgcheck, el segundo es importante porque el paquete no se ha firmado y es necesario para poder instalar este paquete a falta de una firma provista por el empaquetador, de hecho lo hemos compilado nosotrosos mismos. El primero es una de esas banderas útiles para cuando no estamos conectados a nuestros repositorios configurados donde quiera que se encuentren, usualmente Internet, y se le indica a Yum que realice la operación con su cache, esto también acelera la operación.
