sendEmail: Script and Array
I have a script that send email using sendEmail (CentOS shell)
script is:

Code:
sendEmail -vvv -u "TestCompany, Inc.: USB Added" -f user@domain.com -t To@domain.com -s ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com -m "USB Activity" -o tls=aut
o username=user3@domain.com password=password

So far this works fine.

Now i create a ConfigFile as follows:
Code:
Company=TestCompany, Inc.
FromEmail=user@domain.com
Password=password
ToEmail=To@domain.com
Smtp=ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com

and Now I modify my script as follow:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
i=1;
while IFS="=" read VAR VALUE
do
        VAR="${VAR// }"
        Values[$i]=${VALUE}
        let i++;
done <  ConfigFile

Code:
sendEmail -vvv -u "${Values[1]}: USB Added" -f ${Values[2]} -t ${Values[4]} -s ${Values[5]} -m "Test Email" -o tls=auto username=${Values[2
]} password=${Values[3]}

I get following error:
Code:
'25 failed: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.comempt to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com
Apr 21 12:11:35 box2 sendEmail[26378]: HINT => Try specifying a different mail relay with the -s option.

Now I'm unable to understand that why I'm getting this error. even when i try to echo Values it shows me correct values. Also when i run same command from command prompt it sends email...then where I'm doing wrong.? Please help. thanks.

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"
	}
