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
bundle - collect files for distribution SYNOPSIS
bundle file ... DESCRIPTION
Bundle writes on its standard output a shell script for rc(1) or a Bourne shell which, when executed, will recreate the original files. Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by mail(1). Although less refined than standard archives from ar(1) or tar(1), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is required on the receiving machine. EXAMPLES
bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris Send a makefile to Boris together with related and files. Upon receiving the mail, Boris may save the file sans postmark, say in gift/horse, then do cd gift; rc horse; mk SOURCE
/rc/bin/bundle SEE ALSO
ar(1), tar(1), mail(1) BUGS
Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory for non-text files. Beware of gift horses. BUNDLE(1)
