Send mail from AIX 7.1
Hi,
My OS version is AIX 7.1. I am trying to send an email with a file to my mail address. sendmail or uuencode does not work. Can someone give me the correct format ?
I use:
Code:
uuencode <file name> | mail -s "subject" emailaddress

Thanks

Hello Nagesh,

Could you please try following format and let me know if this helps you.
Not tested though.
Code:
cat Input_file | uuencode Input_file | mailx -s"test" ravinder.singh@balle_balle.com

Thanks,
R. Singh

The command does not work. The problem is I cannot find where the issue is, whether its with the 'mail' command or 'uuencode' command or if the server is not able to send the mail to my email ID..

Thanks

Why don't you break that problem down into several small steps? Test the mail first by running mail a@b.c and entering a few chars of text on the keyboard. If that works, supply a seven-bit ASCII text on stdin to mail. If that works, focus on uuencode, which is only necessary if your text is not ASCII.
