Send email to some or all virtual server owners.
This command can be used to send a text format email message to the owners and possibly extra administrators of some or all virtual servers. The servers to notify can be selected with the --domain
flag followed by a domain name, which can be given multiple times. Or you can use --user
followed by an administrator's username. If neither are given, the email is sent to all virtual servers.
If the messsage is related to some service such as email or web serving, you can use the --with-feature
flag followed by a feature code like mail
or web
to limit the servers notified to those with that feature enabled. Similarly, you can use --without-feature
to select only virtual servers that do not have some feature enabled.
The message contents are typically read from a file, specified with the --body-file
parameter. Or they can be passed as input to the script if the --body-stdin
flag is used.
The email subject line must be set with the --subject
flag. The from address defaults to whatever you have configured globally in Virutalmin,
but can be overridden with the --from
flag.
By default only domain owners are notified, but you can include extra admins for the selected virtual servers with the --admins
flag. Only admins who have an email address configured will receive the message though.
