Email current IP address
Variables needing to be defined:
- sender domain (@sender domain.com)
- recipient (recipient address)
Variables automatically defined
- HOSTNAME - defined by using the hostname command
- DATE - defined by using the date command
- IP - queries checkip.dyndns.org and then parses the return to exclude everything except the IP address
- UPTIME - defined by using the uptime command
- USERS - defined by using the users command
- RECIP_DOMAIN - defined by parsing the domain from the recipients' address
- RECIP_MX - defined by querying the recipient's MX and picking the record with the highest priority
- SENDER_DOMAIN - defined by parsing the domain from the senders' address, used for the messageid
- MESSAGEID - automatically created using random numbers and the sender's domain
Another way to gen random, which is awesome:
~$ openssl rand -hex 12 ~$ openssl rand -base64 12
- BOUNDARY - automatically created for content-type boundaries

Learned
- you cannot define a variable as the same exact spelling of the command.
WRONG: hostname ≠ `hostname` RIGHT: HOSTNAME = `hostname`
- you can call a standard command and define its output as a variable, so long as you use " ` " around the command (old school) or "$( )" around it
WRONG: HOSTNAME ≠ 'hostname' RIGHT: HOSTNAME = `hostname` RIGHT: HOSTNAME = $(hostname)
- when using printf you should be careful which type of quote to use. a single quote should be used for plain text, such as a static heading to an output. a double quote should be used for defining variables.
WRONG: printf "Address: " '$IP' "\n" RIGHT: printf 'Address: ' "$IP" '\n'
adding -x to your #!/bin/bash statement will cause everything to be printed, useful in troubleshooting
#!/bin/bash -x
- a wise man told me that i'm supposed to separate the headers from the body of the message with (2) linefeeds. Added to the script.
