Hi there,

O.S: SCO Unixware

How can I send mails using a shell script? I see that there is a
"sendmail" daemon program running on my machine. But when I type, mail
provo1234@hotmail.com < filename.txt
I get the following error message..
"buildaddr: no mailer in the parsed address saved message to
/home/dead.letter"

What could be the problem? I tried the same command on a solaris
machine and it worked.

Thanks in anticipation.

I assume you have following on your system: sendmail and uuencode

From your shell script:

{
echo "From: Your Name <yourid@yourdomain.com>"
echo "To: To your user <youruser@domain.com>"
echo "Subject: Whatever you want to put here"
echo ""

echo "If you feel like typing
you can continue for whater length you want"
echo "Use your imagination"

/usr/bin/uuencode myfile.tar.gz myfile.tar.gz

} | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t


You're done.  Make it a function or whatever and make it re-usable.  No
third party mail clients are necessary (elm, mutt, mailx, or whatever).
