Getting the same error as @marico.righi, additionally I tested it in a Debian VM and also obtained the same error, but the output indicated that it might be somehow Perl module related...?

New Bug?

The command

sendEmail -f "fromemail@emaila.com" -u "messageSubject" -t "toemail@emailb.com" -s "smtp.emaila.com:587" -o tls=yes -xu "fromemail@emaila.com" -m "messageBody" -xp "123!!!123!!!"

generates...

Where to submit the bug?

As of May 30, 2022 Google will no allow "less secure apps". Unfortunately that means we can no longer use this app to send STMP email (ex. user@gmail.com -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -xu). Is there a workaround or feature to use this app with Gmail OAUTH2?

Looks like I never got this message. Here is the fix from 2 years ago.

Hi Maintainer, when you run the "sendEmail" program the following error occurs: invalid SSL_version specified at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 568. Installing sendEmail via yaourt went smoothly and an error did not occur. system infos: # pacman -Qi sendemail Name : sendemail Version : 1.56-1 Beschreibung : A lightweight command line SMTP email client written in Perl Architektur : i686 URL : http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/ Lizenzen : GPL Gruppen : Nichts Stellt bereit : Nichts Hängt ab von : perl perl-net-ssleay perl-io-socket-ssl Optionale Abhängigkeiten: Nichts Benötigt von : Nichts Optional für : Nichts In Konflikt mit : Nichts Ersetzt : Nichts Installationsgröße : 79,00 KiB Packer : Unknown Packager Erstellt am : Do 31 Dez 2015 15:55:21 CET Installiert am : Do 31 Dez 2015 15:55:32 CET Installationsgrund : Ausdrücklich installiert Installations-Skript : Nein Verifiziert durch : Nichts # uname -r 4.3.3-3-MANJARO Regards bluelupo

Got hit (AGAIN!) by some SSLv3 Version wrong issue. Found that the Debian Guys got a fix for this. With this fix it works for me, finally. Created a new PKGBUILD and placed it on pastebin.com: http://pastebin.com/GAd7ZwQK Enjoy!

This package had problems. I wrote a similar programme, called send_email_via_smtp, which is now also on AUR.

Instead of this package, smpt-cli works without problems.

The patch link does not work. What does it mean to "restrict perl-io-socket-ssl<=1.66", I do not know how to deal with that.

Guys, with latest perl-io-socket-ssl release the patch to sendEmail has to look like this: diff -ruN a/sendEmail-v1.56/sendEmail.pl b/sendEmail-v1.56/sendEmail.pl --- a/sendEmail-v1.56/sendEmail.pl 2009-09-29 18:25:27.000000000 +0200 +++ b/sendEmail-v1.56/sendEmail.pl 2013-04-15 07:28:22.543469705 +0200 @@ -1903,7 +1903,7 @@ if ($conf{'tls_server'} == 1 and $conf{'tls_client'} == 1 and $opt{'tls'} =~ /^(yes|auto)$/) { printmsg("DEBUG => Starting TLS", 2); if (SMTPchat('STARTTLS')) { quit($conf{'error'}, 1); } - if (!
