Hi,

i don't know what kind of 'sending server check' you use.
if it's a script you can use
mailx -s 'subject' ....
to add subject to the email.

Hi Andy,

Here's a thread that ought to do the trick for you:

Hi Andy,

To get a subject with sendmail, send the following example:

echo 'Subject: hello\n\nthis is a message' | /usr/lib/sendmail address@yourcompany.com

in other words the 1st line contains the word "Subject:" followed by the subject, then a blank line, then the body of the message.

Andy,

No, the points don't show. Sometimes people have to assign them a couple of times to get them to stick. The folks at HP are working on the problem.

Give it another try.
