Hello All,

I received a message from user indicating they can no longer
utilize "uuencode" to send message from unix server, and receive it as an attachment on windows mail. Command used :

$uuencode /tmp/cron_e2e cron_e2e.doc |mailx @scif.com

I tested the uuencode program, and it works fine, it does exactly what it's suppose to do. I enformed the user I would consult with HP, but I think there has been a security change with the companies mail services. let me know your thoughts.

Shalom,

It could be a patching problem, it could be the smtp server that may relay your mail.

Here is a certified script to try:

If it fails to transmit an attachment, you have a problem. If it does, you have a methodology issue.

Don't forget to change the email addresses.
