Hi Gurus

Hi

Am getting the following error.

#echo test|sendmail -v user@testltd.com
WARNING: local host name (PRD) is not qualified; fix $j in config file
testltd.com: Name server timeout
user@testltd.com... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
user@testltd.com... queued

Dinesh,

Edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and put your host name after Dj with no spaces.you should specify the fqdn here.

Djprd.xyz.com

Also don't forget to include the Smart Relay host in the configuration file. It should specified in the DS macro., like

DSrelayhost.com

Make sure that these host names are getting resolved (either through /etc/hosts or through the DNS).

oooops... I forgot.

After you make changes in the sendmail configuration file, don't forget to restart sendmail.

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Hi Dinu,

Here are some examples:

Mail No attachment, body only -

mailx -m -s "Some Subject" somone@somewhere.com < file_for_email_body

Mail with attachement, no body -

ux2dos /path_to/some_file | uuencode some_file.txt | mailx -m -s "MAIL FROM Someone" someone@somewhere.com

Mail with attachment and body -

ux2dos /path_to/some_file | uuencode some_file.txt | mailx -m -s "MAIL FROM Someone" someone@somewhere.com < file_for_email_body

Mail with carbon and blind carbon -

mailx -m -s "Some Subject" somone@somewhere.com < file_for_email_body

(the file_for_email_body should look like this - )
~c someone_to_cc@somewhere.com
~b someone_to_bc@somewhere.com
The remainder of this file is the text body of the email.

Mail as another sender

echo "Hello" | mailx -m -s "Greeting" -r Santa.Claus@north_pole.com someone@somewhere.com

Mail with multiple attachments (The sentence "This is all you get." will appear as the body.)

mailx -m -s "Hello" someone@somewhere.com << END
`ux2dos /home/some_file | uuencode some_file.txt`
`ux2dos /home/some_other_file | uuencode some_other_file.txt`
This is all you get.
END

Is this enough? If you need more info, jut give some more input.

Cheerio,

Renarios

Ahhh..one of my favorite subjects.

There a a few ways you can mail attachments from the host. But some methods will cause your attachment to become part of the body of the email, and often that is not the desired result.

Here is url and within are pointers to others that give you a variety to choose from.
For myself....I'm a big fan of using the 'include' statement. We find it scripts up so nicely to send any kind of file as a true attachment (free).

Attaching my personal favorite script for this task.

Many tools can do this job.

Try 'sendmail -bv user@testltd.com', which will check whether the mail is deliverable and how it will deliver ( local or relay ).
See whether it is using the local delivery agent or a relaying delivery agent . Check whether testltd.com is resolving in the server from where u r sending the mail . Do u have dns configured in the server from which u r sending the mail ?
