Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to send a PDF attachment via MAILX? Post 303016985 by Michel on Monday 7th of May 2018 04:49:38 PM

Thanks for the info
.
We were able to get it to work with a similar piece of code using MIME base64 and sendmail.
But we need to know when an email failed because of an invalid address and was not able to figure it out using sendmail. I also tried "-N failure" but still could not get it to work.
When using "mailx -r" we get an email notification when it failed, but the attachment is not sent properly. When we use "sendmail" the attachment works fine but we don't know if the email failed or not.
.
We also tried "mpack" which worked great with the attachments but were not able to get a notification on a failure for an invalid address.

Any suggestions ?
Thanks
