Send Email to group ids

You can send emails to multiple ids as follows

Code:
mailx -s "subject" id1 id2 .. idn < inpfile.txt

There is another way of doing it ...just mention the alias name in your mailx statement instead of actually mentioning the all id's that can complex your statement. Actual entry for your id's can be done in .mailrc file which will be at your home directory.

Ex:--

mailx -s "<subject>" <aliasname> #This is your mailx statement.

alias <aliasname> <your id's list comma separated.......> #this should be entry in your .mailrc file at your home dir.
