Data Problem with Carbon copy (CC) option in mailx command
Hi,
I have problems with the cc option in mailx command. Just went through some of the similar threads but none provides a satisfactory explanation.
I have a script using the mailx command in the following way:
(echo `cat mailsub.txt` ; uuencode attachment.csv attachment.csv) | mailx -s "Subject`date`" -r $unm $unm -c $uno

$unm is my mail id .
I want to sent a carbon copy to the $uno mail id.
But while running this script i am getting the following error,
"can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue): Permission denied".
Not getting any mails also.

I could see alternate options of using sendmail command etc., but here in particular I have to use the mailx command.
If somebody can help me with this it would be of help:

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Smitha

I don't have a mailx command handy that also has the -r option, so can't test out my suggestion. Typically, the recipient(s) are the last arguments on the command line. Since you say this problem occurs when you CC, try movnig the -c $uno option before the recipient $unm:

Code:
... mailx -s "Subject`date`" -r $unm -c $uno $unm

If this doesn't help, we'll dive into the permissions problem.
