I tried your line, and here's the output:

Mar 09 14:58:26 cestudos sendEmail[3111]: WARNING => Name/Value pair [tls=yes] will be ignored: unknown key [tls]
Mar 09 14:58:27 cestudos sendEmail[3111]: ERROR => Received:    530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first b12sm3710770ana

Shall I generate a tls key first? How?

Thanks, original poster and Juergen Fiedler for this great post. I have been looking for something that is simple to use from the command line to send emails and this is it. I send my emails threw Gmail and it works great this is what i had to do to get it to work.

I am using Debian Etch.

aptitude install libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ssleay-perl

Simple Email:

-u "Test email" \
-m "Hi buddy, this is a test email."

Sending to mutiple people:
sendEmail -f \
-t "Scott Thomas " \
-s relay.isp.net \
-u "Test email" \
-m "Hi guys, this is a test email."

Sending to multiple people using cc and bcc recipients:
(notice the different way I specified multiple To recipients, you can do this for cc and bcc as well)
sendEmail -f \
-t ;jason@isp.net;renee@isp.net \
-cc \
-bcc \
-s relay.isp.net \
-u "Test email with cc and bcc recipients" \
-m "Hi guys, this is a test email."

Sending to multiple people with multiple attachments:
sendEmail -f \
-t \
-cc \
-s relay.isp.net \
-u "Test email with cc and bcc recipients" \
-m "Hi guys, this is a test email." \
-a /mnt/storage/document.sxw "/root/My Documents/Work Schedule.kwd"

Sending an email with the contents of a file as the message body:
cat /tmp/file.txt | sendEmail -f \
-t \
-s relay.isp.net \
-u "Test email with contents of file"

Sending an email with the contents of a file as the message body (method 2):
sendEmail -f \
-t \
-s relay.isp.net \
-o message-file=/tmp/file.txt \
-u "Test email with contents of file"

Sending an html email: (make sure your html file has at the beginning)
cat /tmp/file.html | sendEmail -f \
-t \
-s relay.isp.net \
-u "Test email with html content"
