How to e-mail a message in cc & bcc

[praveen..]

Hi,
now i am using this to send a mail:

#cat file_name | mailx -s "Subject" praveen1@domain1.com,praveen2@domain2.com,praveen3@domain3.com

This sends the mail in "TO" filed.

but i need to send the same mail like:
To: praveen1@domain1.com
Cc: praveen2@domain2.com
bcc: praveen3@domain3.com

how to do that?

thankx

Shalom,

mailx can be used for this.

I prefer sendmail because it is more flexible.

Take a look at http://www.hpux.ws/mailfile2

It has code for doing this with sendmail.

Hi Praveen,
I use mail which gives me teh possibility to add CC & BCC:

mail -t <Subject: test
From:
Cc:
bcc:

$(ux2dos file|uuencode file.log)
EOF

HTH,

1. Mail No attachment, body only -

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

2. Mail with attachement, no body -

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

3. 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

4. Mail with carbon and blind carbon -

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

(Note that this does not work with the -r option as it disables ~ commands.)
(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 can be the text body of the email.

5. Mail with multiple attachments and body (Leave out the 'This is all you get' if body not desired) -

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