I run in a script a mailx command like this:cat logfile | mailx -s'the logfile' to-me@..This works most of the time, but in some cases mailx automagically turns logfile into an attachment called 'attachment.bin'.I think this may be because 'logfile' contains a few control characters or escape codes?How can I tell mailx to be less intelligent and treat it as an ASCII text file?
View 3 RepliesI am running a opensuse 11.4 with mailx 12.2. I am trying to sent emails via command line using mailx. I have not configured any mail server in yast. My .mailrc in my homefolder looks like this:
set smtp-use-starttls
account gmx {
set smtp=mail.gmx.net:465
set smtp-auth=login
set smtp-auth-user=my.name@gmx.de
set smtp-auth-password=mypassword
set from="My name <my.name@gmx.de>"
}
Unfortunately when I use the command
mailx -s"Test" -A gmx my.name@gmx.de [Return]
Hallo
[ctrl+d]
I am getting only the message
Unexpected EOF on SMTP connection
"/home/myname/dead.letter" 11/338
. . . message not sent.
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.

I have a desktop and a laptop both running opensuse 11.2 with kde4. I have a samba share on my desktop. I tried opening a video on that share from my laptop (wirelessly) with Dolphin/SMPlayer. Here's what happened:
The video started downloading and the system tray notified me it would take 25 minutes. I thought that was too long (video is 350MB) so I checked the download speed and it was about 2 MB/s. It didn't make sense but I let it keep going.
25 minutes and 3.4 GB later, the download finally "finished"--according to the system tray. However, I checked my system monitor and something was still downloading at 2 MB/s. I confirmed with "df -h" that I was losing 2MB of space a second. At this point I only had about 700MB of disk space left so I rebooted (I wasn't sure how else to stop the download).
After digging around on / I found my video at /var/tmp/kdecache-londy/krun and it was 350MB. Then I found multiple copies of the same video, of varying sizes, on /tmp/kde-londy totalling 3GB.
I deleted the tmp files and tried it again. This time instead of clicking on the video to play it, I tried copying it to my laptop. Same thing started to happen but I didn't let it continue.
When I converted to OpenSUSE 11.2, and went through YaST HTTP Server Configuration, creating my virtual hosts under the Hosts tab, YaST combinedm all int ile,"/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ip-based_vhosts.conf".I did google and read, [URL]for further assistance.I'd like each virtual host to have its own file under vhosts.d, and wondering why YaST did not do that.The file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf laid out the file structure, and all vhosts.d/*.conf files are included.Is there a way to tell YaST to create separate files for each vhost, or does the user have to manually do it?

Because of a hard disk failure I had to buy a new disk and reinstall Ubuntu 10.04. Prior to the install I was running the live cd version of 10.04. When I connected to my wireless network and entered the password the key manager wanted me to enter a password to protect the network password. Now every time I boot up the system the network will not automatically connect. (It used to do this). Now I have to click on the network manager and select my network. When I do this I get the key manager asking for a password.
So how do I stop the key manager nonsense and get the network to connect automatically as it once did.

I tried sending a sample mail this way:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a script that sends short reports via the mailx command which is failing a lot lately.
Syntax used is basically: mailx -s "the subject" -r somebody@somewhere.com myemail@gmail.com < textfile.txt
For what ever reason this command has become very unreliable lately. I've tested on the command line and sometimes it works but frequently fails. The -r address seems to cause problems as it always fails with a -r set to my work address. I've read several theads and tried adding a .mailrc file but couldn't get past the NSS configuration setting. (Using my mozilla x123x.default dir results in Error initializing NSS: Security library: bad database. )
The nail command behaves about the same. what would make email sending so intermittent?

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
Formerly 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?

I know there are several posts to do with mail and mailx, but nothing obvious in terms of my problem. Below is a small excerpt from the script that runs, but seems to have developed a problem.

RECIPIENTS="name1@domain"
SUBJECT="${HOSTNAME} Subject Line"

The email is sent, but with numerous recipients, rather than the one specified in the RECIPIENTS variable, and because most of these aren't valid, getting a dead.letter. I've put in some debugging to check values of recipient and subject, and they show as expected.

im just wondering is it possible to instruct mailx to use postfix instead of sendmail while have sendmail and postfix installed? like system-switch-mail way in other distros. basically i would like to be able to use mailx when i uninstall sendmail and keep postfix only installed, so i dont get msg after i press . to send email from mailx

In Red hat i used the nail command to send mail using an external smtp server without sendmail or other mail services active. My question is: In Centos 5 nail is not present but is present mailx in version 8.1.1-44.2.2
Is there a way to set mailx to use external smtp server ? because in many forum i get the string mailx -S smtp= etc.etc. but in my case the -S parameter generate mailx: invalid option -- S antoher question is there a an official repository to download rpm nail for centos ?
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"
I am facing some problem with the mailx commmand. When i run the mailx command from the command line it sends it to the correct mail address which i mention.
#cat mailbody | mailx -s "Test" sampleaddr@abc.com
But when i run the same command from a perl script, it appends the machine name (hostname.abc.com) to the mail address, and the mail address (sampleaddr@abc.com - which i entered) becomes invalid [URL] - found in the maillog), failing to reach the receiver. I am running it from the csh shell. how to avoid this addition.
My script collects information and writes it to a xls file and should mail it across. I tested the first part of the script which writes the excel file , it does write the excel file fairly with expected data using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module Second part uses MIME::Lite , All I get is a mail with intended subject intact but without the attachment . Following is the code , I have googled and tried out many options , didn't go any further apart from receiving a mail without attachment.
