Question Mailx Emails are going to Junk, How to stop them?
I wrote a shell script, the result to be Emailed.
So I used mailx command in my Script. But the mail was going to Junk folder. Is there any troubleshoot for this?

the mail was coming as username@hostname.com

If I understand what you are saying, it sounds like mailx does not create a proper email header so it trips the spam alarm. I ended up writing a brief script using telnet and expect to manufacture a detailed enough header that worked with one of my email hosts while using sendmail. I am not on my work computer at the moment but I can show you some of the code I used to do this if you like. I'm sure there must be a better way but that was the quickest solution I could come up with at the time.

Question
I am sending the mail with subject too from the UNIX script. But the mail was arriving to JUNK folder in my mail box, rather than coming to INBOX. Smilie

This may lead missing to read the mail for the end users.
