Great for scripting e.g motion to send the captured images + movie into your email. No public ssh keys, no passwords, no hassles. Install on Debian with apt-get install sendemail. The email address below has naturally been altered to not be picked up by harvesters.

   1  sendEmail -f marko_haapala@aktagon_com -t marko_haapala@aktagon_com -m "$(date -I)" -u "Possible intruder" -s smtp.aktagon.com -a /tmp/motion/file.jpg

This is an example on how to use PHPMailer to send an HTML email. It also shows how to include a text only version of the same email for clients, such as mutt, that don’t support HTML emails.

   1  $mail = new PHPMailer();
   2  
   3  $mail->IsHTML(true);
   4  $mail->CharSet = "text/html; charset=UTF-8;";
   5  $mail->IsSMTP();
   6  
   7  $mail->WordWrap = 80;
   8  $mail->Host = "smtp.thehost.com"; 
   9  $mail->SMTPAuth = false;
  10  
  11  $mail->From = $from;
  12  $mail->FromName = $from; // First name, last name
  13  $mail->AddAddress($to, "First name last name");
  14  #$mail->AddReplyTo("reply@thehost.com", "Reply to address");
  15  
  16  $mail->Subject =  $subject;
  17  $mail->Body =  $htmlMessage; 
  18  $mail->AltBody  =  $textMessage;    # This automatically sets the email to multipart/alternative. This body can be read by mail clients that do not have HTML email capability such as mutt.
  19  
  20  if(!$mail->Send())
  21  {
  22    throw new Exception("Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo);
  23  }
