Sending mail in unix

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Dear Friends,

I have a shell script where the mail is being sent like this:

/usr/lib/sendmail -v ${CPA_ADMIN}

CPA_ADMIN="xx@abc.com"

Can we specify more than one email ids in this variable?
Is ther eany limit to the number of email ids I can specify in this variable, to whom the mail can be sent?

How can I achieve the two tasks said above..

Please help.

Thanks,

Edit your 'aliases' file and run the 'newaliases' command. your list should be separated by commas.

You can simply put multiple addresses in CPA_ADMIN:

CPA_ADMIN="foo@example.com bar@example.net baz@nonesvch.unix.com"

There is probably an upper limit on how many you can put there, but I seriously doubt that you are going to bump into it by accident. You will want to switch to a proper mailing list manager by then anyway.
