NAME
       calibre-smtp - calibre-smtp

          calibre-smtp [options] [from to text]

       Send  mail  using  the  SMTP  protocol.  calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you
       specify from to and text and these are used to build and send an  email  message.  In  the  filter  mode,
       calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it.

       text  is  the body of the email message.  If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from
       STDIN.  from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address  of  the  recipient.  When  a
       complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP negotiation, the message headers
       are not modified.

       Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in  quotation
       marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
