As in the title I need to send email (with log report, etc..) within a bash script executed by a cronjob. As I set in my WHM this two things (Mod security):

]
• The pseudo-user "nobody" is not permitted to send email.
• Outbound SMTP connections are restricted.

I can't send email without SMTP authentication (I think). I need to authenticate in an external server (onother WHM&cPanel). How should I write this bash script? Up to now my script is:
#!/bin/bash DATA=`date +%H` FILE="/home/path/to/file/file.txt" USER="domaincom" DOMINIO="domain.com" TO="myuser@domain1.it" FROM="cpanel" SUBJECT="email from cP" echo "To: $TO" >> $FILE echo "From: $FROM" >> $FILE echo "Subject: $SUBJECT" >> $FILE echo " " >> $FILE cat "/home/$USER/access-logs/$DOMINIO" | grep "/2015:$DATA" >> $FILE /usr/sbin/sendmail -t < $FILE

  Hello, You will likely receive more input on development questions on a website such as StackOverflow. Or, you could try searching for "PHP SMTP Authentication" on a search engine for examples of how others have developed these types of scripts. Thank you.
