Cleancode eMail [1] (also known as CleanCode Email [2] or simply email [4] [5] ) is a simple command line software utility for sending SMTP email. [5] It is portable enough to compile and run under Linux, [2] OS X, [2] BSD, Solaris, Cygwin and perhaps other Unix-like operating systems.[ citation needed ]

Features

Upon installing the Cleancode eMail, the email executable binary becomes available. [5] [1] [2]

This program offers features for sending email via SMTP. [5] It supports SMTP AUTH (via the LOGIN and PLAIN mechanisms), MIME attachments, an address book, encryption of both transport (via TLS) and message (via PGP), and digital signatures (via PGP). [5] [2] It can be easily used for sending email from the command line, or via shell scripts or other software packages. [5] [6] The lack of modern features helps Cleancode eMail stand out as a fast, efficient and helpful tool for system administrators in Unix-like environments, as that was its intentional purpose when first developed.[ citation needed ]

History

Cleancode eMail started in September 2001 and is currently[ when? ] still maintained and developed by the original author, Dean Jones. [2]

KornShell (ksh) is a Unix shell which was developed by David Korn at Bell Labs in the early 1980s and announced at USENIX on July 14, 1983. The initial development was based on Bourne shell source code. Other early contributors were Bell Labs developers Mike Veach and Pat Sullivan, who wrote the Emacs and vi-style line editing modes' code, respectively. KornShell is backward-compatible with the Bourne shell and includes many features of the C shell, inspired by the requests of Bell Labs users.

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet standard communication protocol for electronic mail transmission. Mail servers and other message transfer agents use SMTP to send and receive mail messages. User-level email clients typically use SMTP only for sending messages to a mail server for relaying, and typically submit outgoing email to the mail server on port 587 or 465 per RFC 8314. For retrieving messages, IMAP is standard, but proprietary servers also often implement proprietary protocols, e.g., Exchange ActiveSync.
