Help with attachment in sendmail
Hi Folks

I have below code, which is able to successfully send the content of the output file as html which is body, but i did tried uuencode & mailx -a for sending attachments but to no avail.

Code:


Code:



cat - ${Output_File} <<EOF| /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t
#From: ${MAILFROM}
To: ${MAILTO}
Subject: $SUBJECT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
MIME-Version: 1.0
#mailx -s $SUBJECT  -a pe_report.csv $MAILTO
EOF

Can you please help me in modifying the above code so that i can send even the attachment along with it.

Don't use uuencode, here is an example using base64 and sendmail

uuencode is so old many modern mail clients have stopped supporting it.

Hi Yoda,

I just referred the code shared in the link and i did changes accordingly which i'm assuming but i'm not still getting the attachment and this time even the html format took a hit in the mail it was trash.

Below is the changed code, please let me know what wrong have i done?

Code:


Code:



cat - ${Output_File} <<EOF| /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t
#From: ${MAILFROM}
To: ${MAILTO}
Subject: $SUBJECT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; name=pe_report.csv
        Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
        Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=pe_report.csv
        base64 /home/local/ANT//pe_report.csv
#mailx -s $SUBJECT  -a pe_report.csv $MAILTO
EOF

Hi Yoda,

I did used the code again you shared in the link with no modifications except for the file names and file paths, It worked swiftly.

Thanks a lot.
