how to mail attachments with asterisk?

[rolfbeethoven]

I would like to send a file attachment with asterisk. The mail command that I use from the command line doesn't appear to support file attachments directly and I've found several options to use: uuencode, MIME, mutt, others.

I looked into the voicemail scripts to see how it was sending my voicemail via email, but it looked complicated and I was wondering if there was a more straightforward way.

Any suggestions on how to attach files to emails that I have Asterisk send out?

Thanks.

mail attachments

Install mutt 'yum -y install mutt'
then you can send mail with attachments from the command line or a script:
echo "Hello World" | mutt -s "Subject goes here" -a <file to attach> email addresses space separated

Good Luck!

Thanks. Mutt works great and was the easy solution that I was hoping for.
