Can't send email from shell

[Mechano]

I cant send email from shell.
No mail command.

It's useful to send email from cronjob scripts.

Also Perl, Python and PHP can send email without hassle.

This OS is too much limited...

That's ok...

But where's openssl needed for crypted authenticating?

Sendmail says openssl is missed.

I've tried installing with ipkg, but nothing it doesn't find.

sorry, you never mentioned that requirement in your first post

I've been able to let it works with SSL authentication and the main providers like GMail or Yahoo!.
