Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have a program which creates some report and sends it to the users. There are around 15000 users . I guess because of this huge number the mail exchange server is unable to deliver all the mails. So i want to create a log to see who are all the user to whom the report was delivered. I am sending the report through mailx command.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

put the mailx command in a for loop and in the loop use a if condition checking the exist status. something like below :-

Code:

for reci in RECIPIENT_LIST  (where its taking it)
do 
mailx -f " " -s" " " " 
if [[ $? -eq 1 ]] 
then 
echo "the mailx fail to deliver mail  $reci"
eco reci >> not_delivered_list
fi
done

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion but i dont think mailx does work in that way. Mailx will simply send the mail and return code will be always. Mailx doesnt wait for the mail to be delivered and then exits the command.
