troubleshooting "mail"
I'm trying to write a script that periodically sends email with interesting information from my home computer to my gmail account, but (most of) my mails are not getting through. I have tried using mail, sendmail, and mailx and all fail equally. I have searched high and low for a solution. Many sources say something like "you have to configure sendmail", but this seems to be way beyond me.
Some mails get bounced back as "undeliverable" but strangely enough, some of the test emails I sent *did* get through, but arrived over a week after they were sent!!! Can someone please explain to me how to configure my system (mac os x.5) to send a simple plain text email??? Speak slowly and use small words please
.
Thanks!

INCM(1) General Commands Manual INCM(1)
NAME
incm - Incorporating new mails for Mew
SYNOPSIS
incm [options]
DESCRIPTION
The incm utility incoporates new mails from the mbox or the maildir to Mew's inbox folder.
The options are as follows:
-a Retrieve all mails from maildir/{cur,new} for maildir.
-b Backup mails. mbox: No truncate mbox file. maildir: To maildir/cur directory.
-c Use the Content-Length: field, instead of the "From " line, as a mail separator for mbox.
-d path Path to mbox/maildir. If path is a file, mbox is assumed. If path is a directory, maildir is assumed.
-m path The same as the -d option.
-s Read one mail from stdin instead of mbox/maildir.
-i inboxdir
A path to the inbox directory.
-h Display this help message.
-v Display the version.
mbox
For mbox, the mail separator is "From " in the beginning of lines. The incm utility does not convert ">From " to "From " in the beginning
of lines in the body. On Solaris, Content-Length: should be used with the -c option to tell the end of mail.
To lock mbox, both a lock file("user.lock") and flock() (or lockf(), or open(LOCK_EX) are used.
maildir
For maildir, no lock and no separator are necessary.
Consider the following situation:
cur/{1,2}
new/{3,4}
Executing incm without the options results in:
cur/{1,2}
new/{}
to inbox: {3,4}
Executing incm with the -a option results in:
cur/{}
new/{}
to inbox: {1,2,3,4}
Executing incm with the -b option results in:
cur/{1,2,3,4}
new/{}
to inbox: {3,4}
Executing incm with the -a option and the -b otpion results in:
cur/{1,2,3,4}
new/{}
to inbox: {1,2,3,4}
So, if both options are specified, messages are retrieved multiple times.
