Hi everyone...
i'm trying to send mail with attachment using /usr/sbin/sendmail
and from some reason it's not working for me only from one computer.
the command i'm using is:
cat /etc/fstab | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t RECIPIENT@MAIL.COM
am i doing something wrong?
p.s. the OS is RedHat.
Mail the contents of a file to any email address from shell
############################################################
cat /etc/fstab | mail -s "The FSTAB enrties" me@mydomain.tld
Here -s "The FSTAB enrties" = subject of the email
me@mydomain.tld = recipient
yeah i know that but i need the as an attachment...
and from some reason it sends me a blank mail...
i have runned it again with strace and i get an error with the pipe:
[engbatch@engapp bin]$ strace cat /etc/fstab | sendmail -t elirazas
-bash: sendmail: command not found

any1 have an idea?!
Hello,
Strange that it sends out a blank email.. I tested... the contents of fstab are added to the body of the email.
Anyways.. can you try this and see if it helps.
1)
root@server[/etc]# echo "123456" > /tmp/testmail ; cd /etc ; zip fstab fstab ; mutt -s "Test mail111111" -a fstab.zip me@mymail.tld < /tmp/testmail
/tmp/testmail = 123456 ( body of email )
2)
Another is : uuencode /etc/fstab /etc/fstab | mail -s "FSTAB" me@mydomain.tld
The second one worked for me!!!
thanx!
welcome
