bootmail is a program called at reboot by cron(8), perhaps useful for unattended, remote servers.

       It  will  read  a  list of one or more comma-separated email addresses from /etc/bootmail/recipients, and
       then loop over a list of white-space separated files in /etc/bootmail/logs, and construct an email.

       By default, the email will at least consist of the hostname of the system, the time and date of the boot,
       as well as the contents of /var/log/boot.log and /etc/motd.

       bootmail will also cryptographically sign the email message using rootsign(1) and gpg(1).  To verify  the
       signature, you will need to gpg--import the public key stored in /etc/rootsign.pub.

       bootmail  can  optionally  encrypt  the  email  messages  as  well,  by listing a comma-separated list of
       recipient gpg(1) key id's in the configuration file I/etc/bootmail/gpgkeys.

       I/etc/bootmail/gpg.conf, /etc/bootmail/logs, /etc/bootmail/recipients, I/etc/bootmail/gpgkeys
