Hi Martins,

There are many ways to send mails from CLI.

Check following

https://tecadmin.net/ways-to-send-email-from-linux-command-line/

If you don't want to make change to your BIG-IP config. you can use the "telnet" option.

If you don't mind, you can first set the SMTP to use :

tmsh modify /sys outbound-smtp mailhub mail.mydomain.com:25

Then launch the following command to send a mail :

echo "test mail" | mail -vs "Test email for SOL13180" myemail@mydomain.com

Hope it helps

Please give us a feedback

I am using gmail/O365 server. Hence telnet would not be applicable
