which error ?

ah! this one ? do you know the origin ?

let's try ssmtp w/ /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf configured like this :

mailhub=smtp.<isp>
FromLineOverride=YES
hostname=smtp.<isp>
rewriteDomain=<domain>
root=postmaster
AuthUser=<user>
AuthPass=<pass>
AuthMethod=LOGIN

and w/ /etc/ssmtp/revaliases :

<login>:<email>:smtp.<isp>

don't forget to run ssmtp-config

alternative w/ msmtp and /etc/msmtprc :

account <isp>
host smtp.<isp>
auth login
password <pass>

account <email1> : <isp>
from <email1>
user <user1>

account <email2> : <isp>
from <email2>
user <user2>

account default : <email1>

don't forget to run msmtp-config

yet another alternative w/ email :

/usr/bin/email \
-r smtp.<sip> \
-m LOGIN \
-u <user> \
-i <pass> \
-n "<comment>" \
-f <email> \
...

then, for both ssmtp/msmtp, the attached script should work !

I left you the implementation of the -a (attachment) option :-)
