UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

As i am not getting any error to the id i am using

Hmmmm... this is a confusing logic.
Not getting errors means the mail was not sent?
Do you mean you to say that the recipient does not receive the sent email?

Yes
It is not sent

OK, I think we're going in circles here - I think you mean it's not being received as the 'mailx' returns no errors (per your earlier statement).

It's been awhile for since I've dealt with sendmail config, maybe the issue is there. Others might be able to help.

Also can you send email to this email address (with the '&' in it) from other MUA (MailUserAgent): like gmail.com, Exchange or whatever you're using to send your own email?

I'm just curious if '&' is allowed as part of a email address....

Maybe others can chime in....

Thanks a lot for the help

I presume the problem is as & makes the mailx command to treat the code whatever prestn after & to be executable. As if i use backslash it is giving the error

echo "Please Ignore" | mailx -s "Test Mail" `ABC.&.XYZ@abc.com`
ksh: .XYX@abc.com: not found
ksh: RR.BI.: not found
The flags you gave are used only when send
Usage: mailx -eiIUdFntBNHvV~ -T FILE -u US
-s SUBJECT -f FILE users

I am being able to send mail to the id from exchange server.
I presume commercial mail servers (gmail.yahoo) dont allow
But this mail id belongs to our company lotus notes.
Ther ampersand is allowed

you're using back-ticks
(`) - you need to use SINGLE quotes (') as I've suggested previously.
If you cannot see the difference, just use DOUBLE quotes for now.
