Problem with mimesender
Hi there,

I was looking for a script to send mails with attachment(s) and I found mimesender here in the forums.

But I've got some difficulties to get it working.

Here is the command I submit on the shell:
Code:
./mimesender -t to@mail.com -T "To Name" -f frommail -F "From Name" -b body.txt -s "TEST Subject" -X body.txt

But all I get is this (without the file attached):
Code:
Thats the body!--=== This is the boundary between parts of the message. ===--
Content-Type: text/plain; name="body.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: x-uue
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="body.txt"

begin 0 body.txt
05&AA=',@=&AE(&)O9'DA#0``
`
end

Here is the debug code from the script:
Code:
DEBUG: Debug Mode is on...no mail will be sent
DEBUG: pwentry = root:!:0:0::/:/usr/bin/ksh
DEBUG: myaddr = root
DEBUG: myname =
DEBUG: Attachment 0 body.txt X body.txt
DEBUG: PIPELINE = cat body.txt| sed "s/$/${CR}/"|uuencode body.txt
DEBUG:
DEBUG:
DEBUG: mta arg = to@mail.com
DEBUG:
DEBUG: start of mail
DEBUG: From: From Name <frommail>
DEBUG: Sender:  <root>
DEBUG: To: To Name <to@mail.com>

DEBUG: X-Mailer: mimesender 0.0

DEBUG: Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
DEBUG:     boundary="=== This is the boundary between parts of the message. ===--"
DEBUG:

DEBUG:

DEBUG: 05&AA=',@=&AE(&)O9'DA#0``
DEBUG: `
DEBUG: end
DEBUG:
DEBUG: --=== This is the boundary between parts of the message. ===----
DEBUG: end of mail

May you help me?
Thank you!

Use smtp-cli it's good and provides you more features ...

Syntax:
Code:
Package :  smtp-cli &mdash; command line SMTP client 
smtp-cli Syntax :
/usr/bin/smtp-cli --disable-starttls --missing-modules-ok --host <SMTP-Server-IP>\
 --port 25 --hello-host "$host" --from=" LINUX TEAM <linuxteam@mydomain.com>"\
 --to="to-mail-id" --cc="cc-mail-id" --subject="Date $(date) .. Reports " --body-html="<html>
<body>

Dear Team,

Thank You and Regards,<br />

Have used it over Linux distro.. so can;t say.. it will work or not .. you can try ... it's opensource ..
Also you can try mutt for AIX with below syntax...
Download the pack from Source url
gnome
03.ibm

Code:
Syntax..
echo “AM ATTACHING A FILE” | mutt -a  MY-FILE.bz2  -s “FIND ATTACHED FILE”   shirish@mydom.com
