Sandmail syntax - dsn flag

I have tried every which way to use this flag, and can't get it to work. My command is as follows:

sendmail -it [dsn flag????] < mail.txt

-ndsn Set delivery status notification conditions. Then valid conditions with which dsn can be set are as follows:
never - For no notifications.

failure - If delivery failed.

delay - If delivery is delayed.

success - When message is successfully delivered.

I'm using Version 8.8.6 on HP-UX 11.00

Thanks in advance,

Re: Sandmail syntax - dsn flag


I just tested it, works fine.
If I use;
sendmail -v -Nsuccess <test
EOF
it emails fine and says NOTIFY=SUCCESS in the output.
So use -N and it should work fine.

Please forgive my ignorance, but by what method am i 'Notified' that a delivery has been successful, has failed, etc.?

I think you should get an email back giving you the status of delivery, as long as your return email address was setup correctly.

Maureen, there are a lot of "gotchas" with using DSN. Check out this link for a complete description:
