Easy Question (sendmail)...

[Kyle D. Harris]

This is probly an easy question for most but I can't remember. How do you send sendmail to multiple addresses? Here's what i have in my script.

echo "The crontab has changed" | mail address@mail.com

do i use a comma or ; or what to seperate them?

[Balaji N · Accepted solution]

it is comma.

$ cat /etc/hosts | mail balaji, root
$ mail
From balaji Tue Jul 8 21:19:42 2003
Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 21:19:41 -0500 (GMT)
From: balaji
....

Hello!

separate the list with comma ","
You can made a list of wanted users/machines
and send to the list.

Hi,
It's the same for sendmail command, a in your former mail :$
/usr/bin/sendmail toto.com,foo@mydomain.com Don't forget the coma, as second address would be considered otherwise as the sender...

The other way is to use mail's "-c" flag to send a CC.

echo blah | mail -c user@somwhere otheruser@elsewhere
