Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to send a PDF attachment via MAILX? Post 303017037 by Michel on Tuesday 8th of May 2018 09:59:50 AM

This is the code .. As mentioned we can send attachments to gmail, yahoo etc ..
But we would need to know if the email failed because of an invalid address
I tried to convert the code to use mailx but the attachments comes in as text inside the email instead of an attachment.

Any help is appreciated

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

export MAILTO="<email address>"
export SUBJECT="Test mail PDF"
export ATTACH="1.pdf"
(
echo "Date: $(date)"
echo "To: $MAILTO"
echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="-q1w2e3r4t5"'
echo
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
echo 'Content-Type: text/plain'
echo 'Content-Disposition: inline'
echo
echo "This is a  message for PDF attachment test"
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
echo 'Content-Type: application/pdf; name="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
uuencode -m $ATTACH $(basename $ATTACH)
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5--'
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail $MAILTO
