sendmail

[Johan Nielsen]

I have a user that wants to send an e-mail and specify the To, From and Subject. I have been playing with sendmail attempting to satisfy this request. I can send mail just fine using sendmail -f but I also want to specify the subject and nothing shows up in the To: field of the e-mail. Can anyone help?

These should help.

You are trying to do this the hard way. It's much easier to use mailx or elm as your front-end to format the mail and hand the task off to sendmail.
