Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Mailx Emails are going to Junk, How to stop them? Post 302550780 by buggin on Saturday 27th of August 2011 08:33:47 AM

If I understand what you are saying, it sounds like mailx does not create a proper email header so it trips the spam alarm. I ended up writing a brief script using telnet and expect to manufacture a detailed enough header that worked with one of my email hosts while using sendmail. I am not on my work computer at the moment but I can show you some of the code I used to do this if you like. I'm sure there must be a better way but that was the quickest solution I could come up with at the time.

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
