Command line or script email with attachment

...without using Apple Mail or any other email client if possible.

As with effectively every alternative, mutt is an e-mail client. But an e-mail client is what you are asking for. The 'client' is the coding that communicates with whatever e-mail server you're sending through.

That's not all precisely accurate, but it's close enough.

Is macports free from malware and secure?

Macports is free and safe. It's the same type delivery method used in Linux environments with apt-get or yum.

I installed mutt.
Shouldn't there be some sort of configuration file stored somewhere so that when I type in a command it know which server to use etc?

I uninstalled mutt since it was giving me variable errors.
This is not a viable solution for me.
I need another method of sending an email using a script or command line.

Ok, try this one -

uuencode /Users/Renazonse/Attachment.png /Users/Renazonse/Name-of-Attachment.png | mail -s "subject of mail" email@tosendtoaddress.com

uuencode is built-in to Mac OS X. Tested an it works well.

I will try this and will ket you know.
Does anything need to be configured - ie imap or smtp etc?

nope, it just works. The built-in mail system on the mac will use dns to send the message.

How do I just send a regular email without an attachment?

mail -s "Email Subject" email@toaddress.com -f email@fromaddress.com -F "From friendly name"

To include a body in the message you can do it like this

echo "This is the body of the message" | mail -s "Email Subject" email@toaddress.com -f email@fromaddress.com -F "From friendly name"

Body in the message and an attachment

(echo "This is the body of the message"; uuencode /Users/Renazonse/Attachment.png /Users/Renazonse/Name-of-Attachment.png) | mail -s "subject of mail" email@tosendtoaddress.com

OR

uuencode /Users/Renazonse/Attachment.png /Users/Renazonse/Name-of-Attachment.png | mail -s "subject of mail" email@tosendtoaddress.com < textfilewithbodycontents.txt

mail -s seems to send email with an address from the local mac and not from a real email address such as google and hotmail

Use the full syntax above

mail -s "Email Subject" email@toaddress.com -f email@fromaddress.com -F "From friendly name"

I still need to try this to test it out, however in order for me to ask a new question, I need to close this one.  To anyone that is reading this, please test the solution, since I need to test it.
