All,

Here i got a point, as my earlier code i have tested was abended due to no mail body.
Here it works with the below:

cat filename.txt | mail -r "\"useridwewant"\" -s "subject" mailid.com

the above is working fine, but the same i tried with -u option in mail command:

cat filename.txt | mail -u "useridwewant" -s "subject" mailid.com

the above command is failing to send mail and throwing me the below error:
"Cannot give this flag and people to send to."

Please help me out.

NAME
deliver - Delivers mail to an IMAP mailbox SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/deliver [-d] [-r address] [-f address] [-m mailbox] [-a auth-id] [-e] [-q] [-F flag]... [userid]... deliver -E days OPTIONS
Ignored for compatibility with /bin/mail Inserts a Return-Path: header containing address Inserts a Return-Path: header containing address Delivers to mailbox. If any userids are specified, attempts to deliver to user.userid.mailbox for each userid. If the access control list (ACL) on any such mailbox does not grant the sender the right to post mail (p right) or if -m is not specified, then delivers to the INBOX for the userid , regardless of the ACL on the INBOX. If no userids are specified, the deliver command attempts to deliver to mailbox. If the ACL on mailbox does not grant the sender the p right, the delivery fails. Specifies the authorization id of the sender. Defaults to "anonymous". Enables duplicate deliv- ery suppression. This suppresses delivery of the message to a mailbox if a message with the same message-id (or resent-message-id) is recorded as having already been delivered to the mailbox. Records the mailbox and message-id/resent-message-id of all successful deliveries. Delivers a message even when the receiving mailbox is over its quota. Sets the system option or keyword flag on the delivered message. Removes the duplicate delivery database of entries older than days. DESCRIPTION
The deliver command reads a message from the standard input and delivers it to one or more IMAP mailboxes. The deliver command reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf file. Depending on the setting of the reject8bit field in the imapd.conf file, deliver either rejects messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers or changes these characters to X. FILE
Configuration file for the IMAP server SEE ALSO
Commands: cyradm(1), imapd(8), imapquota(8), reconstruct(8) Files: imapd.conf(4) deliver(8)
