#install sendemail tool:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
This command let you send email message from linux command line using a gmail account and gmail smtp server. Here I describe the install process Ubuntu's way (apt-get).

This is very useful for sending email messages using cron automation (be careful with number of messages to be sent. Gmail has limits for each case. Read about it at " https://support.google.com/a/answer/166852?hl=en".

Hope it helps.
