help request for sending email from unix to internet

sbabuts · #1 (**permalink**) 08-29-2005

I have a requirement to send email to a group once I have done some tests. I tried the following from command line:-
mailx -s "Test REsults for today " myname@companyname.com <testresultfile.txt

but the email was not received by anyone

basically I followed the format:
mailx -s "$env(WWW_msub)" $env(WWW_mailto) < /tmp/$fname

is this supposed to work ?., When I entered this command, I did not get any error message. I looked at my email and did not find any email coming to me even after a day.

Can someone please help me to find out what is wrong inthe above statement?., is there any other easy way to send emails.

Thanks in advance.

Here's what I always do:

Quote:

cat testresultfile.txt | mail -s "Place subject here" email@address.com

You can put more than one mailaddress behind the first, use space as separator.
