Email with cc and bcc option
Hi,
I am able to send email from AIX using the following command.
Code:
cat email.txt | mail -s "Mail Subject" venkat@gmail.com

Our requirement is send email with cc and bcc option.
We are getting email with from email address as our UNIX server user.
We would like to change that, please let us know how do we change this.

Thanks in advance for clue or help.
Thanks
Venkat

Some mail/mailx commands have -b and -c for this. You can port your own email clients pretty easily.

Try use tilde escapes, e.g.
Code:
( echo "~b $bccAddr" 
 echo "~c $ccAddr" 
 cat email.txt ) | mail -s "Mail Subject" venkat@gmail.com
