Unhappy silent telnet
I have been using the following code for sending out an email from a AIX UNIX platform.

cat filename | telnet mailhost 25 >/dev/null

Time to time I get a message

loopback: A specified file does not support the ioctl system call.

Can anyone tell me what this means? I need this function to be silent or it will be a problem since it is a cron task.

Is mpack an answer?.. this file is not an attachment. The file is in HTML format with MIME headers.

add 2>&1 to the end of your command line.
this will redirect stderr to stdout which
is redirected to /dev/null
