GNU/linux kernel 2.6, Slackware 12.0.
I ran mail (aka mailx) and opened an account foo. If I remain inside the program, the command 'account foo' prints the account data. Good. But if I exit the program, and rerun it, then the command 'account' has no output which is to say I have no account.
I'm having issues sending mail on a Debian (Lenny) box using mailx.
root@deity:/# mail root
Subject: Hai
Hi, root!
[Code].....
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
Was told that I need to use Javamail for a project to send mail rather than using "mail" or "mailx". Has anyone here done this?Any pointers or sites you've used and can recommend?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFormerly it was possible to send attached files using the "-a" option eg. mailx -a /home/yan/textfile [URL]. (I think -a stood for "attached". At the time the "-a" option figured as an option for sending attached files.Now it is an option for sending headers. how one can now send attached files using mailx?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to send an email using mailx, in a bash script, but I can't get it to work. In the terminal I can, and this is how I do it:
Code:
$ mailx johndoe@gmail.com
Message^D
Within seconds of doing this, I get sent an email. The problem is with the bash script I'm trying to make. Among other things, I tried this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash mailx johndoe@gmail.com < "Message" I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do, and I've Googled a bunch of things too, and didn't have too much luck. Is there anyone who could help me out?
Edit: Figured it out. This is what I did, and it works for me:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Message" | mail -s "Subject" "johndoe@gmail.com"
I was wondering how to setup slackware such that I can send and receive local mail using the commandline "mail" command.
I tried sending a sample mail this way:
And it looks like the message was sent, but when I then go check:
it says there is no mail.
Do I need to have sendmail running for just local mail calls?
I have two servers relavant here: mail.domain.com (1.1.1.1) - which is the nameserver and the mail server for domain.com. www.domain.com (2.2.2.2) - which is the www subdomain for domain.com domain.com (cname www.domain.com) - an alias for www.
The zone file for domain.com lists mail.domain.com as the MX server for domain.com. 2.2.2.2 is actually being served web pages as a virtual host. It's real hostname is www.anotherdomain.com. Mail for domain.com works pretty well, in general. However, if I attempt to send mail from www.domain.com (or its alias domain.com), I get "mail for domain.com loops back to myself" in the postfix logs. On 2.2.2.2 /etc/postfix/mail.cf has mydestination = www.anotherdomain.com, localhost. How do I tell postfix on 2.2.2.2 that mail for domain.com needs to be delivered to mail.domain.com?
I have a couple of servers that are scripted to send cron script output logs to my email address (a Gmail address). Mailx is what I am using, but I didn't have to configure anything; I installed it, and it just worked with the following command: mailx -s "SUBJECT" -r FROMMYADDRESS TOMYADDRESS < FILETOCATANDSEND
This occurs every Saturday and Sunday at noon after my backup scripts run.
I noticed yesterday that I did not receive these logs, so I logged into the machine, started 'mail' and saw messages like this: This is the mail system at host media.deagle.lan.

However when I send mail to deco -at- mycompany.com I nothing happens and no mail ever arrives in my mailbox. It might be worth mentioned that my centos5 is a virtual machine on the same server as the company exchange mail server.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm am not remotely familiar with the linux operating sytem and just need a simple 'cut and paste solution' that will allow me to send .gz files as mail attachments, from the command line.Recently I moved my website to new hosting company, they are using cpanel and I have set up a couple of commands; the cpanel scheduler runs them for me as required.
1.creates an mysql dump and saves it to folder ( in root of my space )Works fine.2. delete the file created above, after 15 mins. Also works fineWhat I really want to do is email the .gz to myself before it is deleted, this is were I am stuck.This is possible ( I believe ) but it is beyond my understanding and ability to write the scipt/command that will make this happen.Please make any instructions really simple and clear as I am really new to this.on the server and this information is provided below and may be helpful to you (but I certainly to not know anything about this type of stuff)

I want to send mail to potential customers from my localhost server in my SOHO. I have a web site hosted with a company called geek hosting [URL], so I have access to the mail services through them... I want to their mail server to push things out to the world form my localhost server.
I do have a registered domain name which the hosted site runs under
the domain name for my centos 5.4 server is localhosthost.localdomain.
I am very new to CentOS and running a server in general. I managed to get a server setup with CentOS, and it's running a wordpress driven social networking site. Everything is fine except sometimes my server won't send registration/activation emails to some email addresses. This is a huge problem because people signup but then can't activate their account. I don't understand why its sending some and not sending others based on the email domain? The guys at wordpress said "it's that your server does not support SMTP or at least wp_mail() in its normal form" but that doesn't mean much to me.

I have OpenSuse 64bit running a web site. I have a form on this site here:- Dynamic Systems Group The script itself works and I have tested it on another hosted server and it works fine.

Postfix is not sending mail, I did a basic test of sending an email locally using the Linux mail command, and nothing was delivered, and I couldn't find an error either.
Where is the log for postfix located?
In main.cf I changed:
myhostname
mydomain
mynetworks
home_mailbox (I want to use Maildir/)
What am I missing?
