sending mail

Khashru — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 17:51:37 GMT

I am using the following command to send mail

mailx -s "Helpdesk unauthorized access" xyz@abc.com

I want to mark the mail as urgent. ie change priority.

Shalom,

I don't think mailx can do that.

I know that mailer's like squirrelmail can do this on the command line with sendmail, but mailx is a little more baisc.

I read the man page and found this on google.

The following script, which is admitedly over engineerred does do cc with sendmail, not mailx.

You can not achive this with mailx client. Go with sendmail with << operation as,

sendmail -t <<-EOF
To: id@domain.com
Cc: cid@domain.com
Subject: Subject

Contents
EOF

It will do it.
