Hi,

Does anyone Know how to send file attachments using sendmail. The only way I've managed so far is the following:
#cat | sendmail

Thanks in advance,
Trystan.

Hi,

Read somewhere
TXTFILE=/tmp/textfile
MAILTO=user@remote.com
SUBJECT=attachmentmail
echo "From: $LOGNAME\nTo: $MAILTO\nSubject: $SUBJECT\nMime-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: text/plain\n" > /tmp/file
cat $TXTFILE >> /tmp/file
/usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi < /tmp/file

regards,
U.SivaKumar

Hi,
I've put this into a script however this sends the file as the body of the e-mail and not as an attachment.
Thanks,
Trystan.
