We use mutt to send out emails.mutt -s "Test" -e "Content-Type: text/html" test@example.com < message.htmlWe send out our email updates in HTML format. We would like to send emails as multi-part containing both a text version and an html version. How do we create such a multipart message in Linux when the email subject, and HTML and text versions of the email body are given?Can we use mutt to send the multipart email created in step 1, from the linux prompt?
here is a fragment of a bash that i have to send an email when a back Up is made. basically a usr runs the sh - it asks for the job num and I read that from standard in . I do a tar of the drv to tape and I wish to send an email that job such and such has happened. My problem is : the subject of the email. I can set it - but if i try to use a var ( as in the $jobNum ) that Does work in the mail body - the subject comes out blank. I have also tried to buld a text file and shove that in the SUBJECT. my Q is how can I use a var in the subject.
# email subject ### so I have tried bulding and reading a tmp file -no works EMAILSUBJECT="/tmp/emailsubject.txt" echo "backup job" $jobNum >$EMAILSUBJECT
I'm using Linux 11.04 and just installed the most recent version of Postfix. I'm trying to send a simple email (through a relay) but when I run the command
sendmail davea@mydomain.com FROM: fromemail@gmail.com SUBJECT: hello world this is a test email .
It just hangs there. There is nothing in /var/log/mail.log or in any of its accompanying files.
I cannot send an email link in Namoroka. I go to file-send link and nothing happens. I tried to find the problem by about:config in Namoroka. I just found /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird. With my limited knowledge I do not know what else to look for.
I have sendmail setup and it works fine sending emails to outside email addresses. When I try and send email to our internal groupwise server the mail never gets there and I get an error message in the log user unknown.
i have a problem regarding our email server. all the users can send email but they cant received mail. .when hitting send receive on outlook there were no error found. .i have already reboot the server and restarted the sendmail services but still same problem.
I come from more of a programming background but have been giving the task of sending backup results from a linux box in an email to external email addresses, I have spent days looking trough google for info but cant seem to find anything simple, I have looked at postfix but because I don't understand networks, hosts, nameservers etc. What I need to do to allow mail get sent from the linux box to external mail address. I have outlook connected to an exchange server on windows and I can ping the linux box from my windows command so surely it cant be to much involved.
I have a problem sending emails in the command line. I have introduced this command:
sendEmail -f my.account@gmail.com -t myself@domain.tld -u this is the test tile -m "this is a test message" -s smtp.gmail.com -o tls=yes -xu usernameonly -xp mypasswd
But then I received this message: sendEmail[13230]: ERROR => Connection attempt to smtp.gmail.com:25 failed: IO::Socket::INET: connect: Connection timed out
I'm running a server with Ubuntu Natty x64 and I want to get email notifications from the server sent to my gmail. What is the best way to set this up? I was looking at this LINK but I wasn't sure if this was the best way to go about this.
I'm using Natty, and I would like to get email notifications in the system tray area. I have all the correct settings marked, and I read that Evolution needs to be running for the notifications to work so I installed this:[URL].. Nothing works. Evolution will not tell me when I have new emails. If I open Evolution it works fine.
I want to disable bubble notifications for new emails (but I still want indicator applet to change color when email arrives). Those notifications distracts me a lot, so I want remove them.
Is it possible? I was only able to disable the evolution notification at all, but that is not exactly what I want.
I have designed and one form and php code to send mail. I am developing this in my localhost, So now i want to send email from my localhost to test my programming. I googled and i find something like editing "php.ini" file. But it didnt work for me.
How is it possible to send email using the "mail" program? I tried: echo "testing" | mail -s "test" myaddress@gmail.com But nothing happened. I made sure that the sendmail daemon was running before I tried. Is there anything else that I have to set up first?
Sent an email by using telnet on port 25 from the terminal. Telnet states my message was sent but I never got it. Is it on the hard disk somewhere. Is there a log file? Where did my email go? Did it go into the ehter? I opened port 25 on my firewall through gnome by selecting 25/smpt checkbox as a trusted service.
Basically, I think my Internet crashed while sending an email via Evolution and now whenever I open Evolution, or try and receive any new email it just sits there sending this email - it reaches 100% so I can only assume it has actually sent the email.
There's a button to "Cancel the current mail operation" though it doesn't appear to be doing anything; the email is still being "sent" each time.
This would be pretty tedious for the guy I sent the email to.
How can I send an email from localhost via the terminal? I don't need pop just smtp. I believe this can be done with postfix which I have just installed but what is the command to input via the terminal, on my centos box I use the following to send the contents of some files which works just fine but what about sending through postfix on ubuntu?
Code:
sudo tail -50 /home/user/.bash_history | mail -s "bash history" email@mail.com
How to configure my home linux server, as an email server, and be able to send email to hotmail, please?. I have done this before, but I never managed to do it so hotmail accept emails coming from my linux server.
So I have Postfix working great and I've always used webmail if I needed to send email from PC's outside of $mynetworks. So fast forward to today where I got my 1st Android powered mobile phone and I can configure the Android mail client to send/receive IMAP email but my question is do I need to become an open relay to allow my random wireless providers dynamic range of IP's to send mail via Postfix? Seems extremely vulnerable and scary to think I would have to allow my providers IP range to relay mail via my MTA. I started reading a bit and I think I need SASL authentication and since both Postfix 2.8.1 & Dovecot 2.0.11 are both configured / using TLS, is there anything else I would need or you recommend for sending email from my Android powered mobile?
I use sendmail using my server. I hosted my site I just bought a domain name. Everytime I send mail I saw in my log files localhost.localdomain. How can I change this hostname in sending my mail.
here's the log:
From MAILER-DAEMON@localhost.localdomain Fri May 8 16:30:23 2009 Return-Path: <MAILER-DAEMON@localhost.localdomain> Received: from localhost (localhost) by localhost.localdomain (8.13.1/8.13.1) id n488UNlD006632;
I have postfix sort of working correctly. postfix can send email to the internet but it doesn't want to send email to my local exchange server. What I need is for postfix to send emails directed to @xyz.com to my exchange server instead of itself.
My setup mail.xyz.com - exchange 2003 server www.xyz.com - centos 5.3 server with postfix
www.xyz.com can send emails to my hotmail.com account so that part works correctly. www.xyz.com can't send email to username@xyz.com. postfix seems to be delivering the email to itself and not the exchange server.
How can I tell postfix to send the @xyz.com emails to my exchange server?
Here is a sample of my /var/log/maillog Jul 22 15:43:43 list postfix/smtpd[9802]: D63168604A3: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Jul 22 15:43:53 list postfix/cleanup[9805]: D63168604A3: message-id=<20090722204343.D63168604A3@www.xyz.com>
I just setup a mail server on my web server and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to send emails to external (as in outside my LAN) emails or receive from external emails. I'm using Postfix with Dovecot and Squirrelmail. I get this delivery report in Squirrelmail when trying to send an email to my hotmail address.
Final-Recipient: rfc822; example@hotmail.com Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Remote-MTA: dns; mx3.hotmail.com Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 DY-001 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. We generally do not accept email from dynamic IP's as they are not typically used to deliver unauthenticated SMTP e-mail to an Internet mail server.

I'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"
