Sending email from UNIX server
Hi,

I am trying to send an output of a script in an email.
I want to know if there is a way to modify the senders email not as my username on the host server but as one of the sender preset on outlook.

I was using
Code:
cat email.log | /bin/mailx -c cclist -r myemailid -s "subject" tolistids

I want to change that myemailid to a name present in outlook.

Use code tags for code, please.

What do you have for your From header in the text file?

Also can you tell us what OS you are using:
Code:
uname

Also the mailx version that you are using:
Code:
$ mailx
Mail version 8.1 6/6/93

-r option is used to specify return/from address.

Just change it to whatever address you want:
Code:
/bin/mailx -c ggg@email.com -r ggg@email.com -s "List of TNs in sustaining profile" ggg@email.com
