Hi,
I have tried a script which sends mail to the user and its working fine. Is there any possibility to reply to user mail which is available in the mailbox. I searched in internet but didnt find any solutions. Any help will be really useful.
mail -s "sample mail" abc@gmail.com < file
If you want do that automated, you can use a .forward and hand it over to procmail for example to filter out sender, subject etc. and decide by this what to do with the mail or trigger a script that sends a mail back directly.
Hi rogerben,
You can just use the mail utility on the unix system.
Just try;
mail
It should take you into the mailbox.

Dave
Dave ,
Can you provide the exact syntax of the command. The command just store some messages in /var/spool folder.
Hi,
The command should just be as above, however.
ss071a-root>mail
