I am trying to send an email with an attachment using ssmtp and base64 (both preinstalled and trying to avoid install new packages).
I dont want to install mutt or any other package. I want to do it with base64 and ssmtp only.
I can run this in synology's task scheduler (linux terminal) without problems:
/usr/bin/ssmtp user@gmail.com < /volume1/homes/user/eltrack/requirements.txt
but i want to email an attachment (an image) and i am failing to encode it properly.
It would be great if I could just do: (cat base64 /volume1/homes/user/eltrack/requirements.txt)
but all my attempts have failed. Any hints on how to solve this?
