   I use a small Python script called "dupe" for sending email from the   
   command line.   
      
   It connects directly to the SMTP server and sends the message immediately   
   — no local queue or postfix daemon involved.   
      
   If you're interested, it's part of the SAM.handy library:   
      
   https://rosevearsoftware.com/products/sam/libraries/handy/index.php   
      
   Current version is SAM.handy-1.tar.gz.   
      
   Just something I wrote for my own use and share in case it's useful to   
   others.
