Hi Team,

We are with Solaris 10. And presently we are sending mail using the tool mailx -s. Our requirement is we need to send amil with HIGHPRIORITY. SO is there any way to send the mail as HIGHPRIORITY.

If not any alternative way instaead of using mailx.

Thanks in advance.

Use sendmail instead:

{
        echo "From: from@addr.com"
        echo "To: to@addr.com"
        echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
        echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
        echo "Subject: Your Subject"
        echo "Importance:High"
        # Email body here
} | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

I would recommend to run it as a script.

Just make sure you run it as a group command { list; } like posted.

By the way I checked the SunOS mailx manual and I do not see any option that support this feature.

Yes, put commands in single line separated by semi-colon ;

{ echo "To: to@addr.com";echo "MIME-Version: 1.0";echo "Content-Type: text/plain";echo "Subject: Subject";echo "Importance:High";echo "Hello"; } | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
