If you want to e-mail a file vs. just a message look at the "nail"
command, very handy.
Yeah. I was already there. See the paragraph below (from my original
post).
(The
finished working command will go into cron and so should be completely
programmatic.) Using Linux, There are a few open source apps that
should work: mail, mailx, and nail. Weirdness is that they all share
the same manpage. So maybe they all work exactly the same (???).
Or maybe I should say they all fail to work in the same way, because I
can't get anything to work at all or to give a helpful error message.
One complicating factor s that I don't want to set up a local mail
There is no reason not to setup the local MTA to use the central relay;
it will save you allot of grief.
I've set up sendmail a few times, so I know what's involved. As I said

the local Mailserver queue.
If you don't want that you should use mini_sendmail. That is a command
line tool to send an email directly to a remote smtp server.
Yast will setup postfix to do basic delivery to a central mail
repository; just run through the setup. There is no reason not to have
the local MTA configured. You do not need to accept connections.
Yeah, I know.
