hey..
i am seeking for a linux script(Shell script)
that reads from text file "email addresses" and send a "message"
by smtp server which i set !

for example..
lets say that i have in my shell 2 files!
one file includes the email addresses that i wanna send to
for example.. the file which is named emails contains :-

koko @hotmail.com
veko@hotmail.com
xxxxxxx@.....com
...

and the second file which has the message for example:.
the file message contains the letter

"welcome all to my world"

now i want to send the letter/message "welcome all to my world" to the email addresses that i mentioned above "koko@hotmail.com veko@hotmail.com ,,etc"

*note: i could use the pine / mail command ,, but as you know all.. pine and mail sends to junk/or as a spam for hotmail.. so i wanna be sure that my message was delivered to users in their inbox and not in junk
for that reason i wanna specific/special script mailer that sends via my "gmail" account that i set(configure)
for example:-

port:23
smtp-server:smtp.gmail.com
user:eawedat
password:*****
and to send via my email..

the script should look like this to run in linux..

./mail emails message

I hope that u understand me.
thanks.

This is not hard, you have many choices

# 1 - Configure local email server to send an email via ISP SMTP server and write normal shell scrip to router all mail using mail command. This is easiest and works with everything.

# 2 - Use special smtp mail client such as
Software :: SendEmail - Send email with this free command line email client
mailsend - send mail via SMTP Protocol
Google for other software

# 3 - use perl / php to send email
php example PHP Send Email Using Authenticated SMTP Mail Server In Real Time

Perl code
Sending mail with Perl mail script
