Sending mail, status checking
After I send a mail thr unix with following command
uuencode tmpFile | mailx -s "sub1" emailid
Yet, I havent received this mail at intended mail client.
In order to find out if the sent mail action resulted in failure,
I checked at
/usr/spool/mail/userid
But there also I couldnt find this mail with subject sub1 returned as failed delivery.
Is there any way to check whether sent mail was a successful operation?
