Sending Mail in OS X Terminal
Hi All! I would like your assistance with an issue that I have been having with OS X (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and sending mail through the Terminal.

I had been trying to send mail from Terminal to my GMail account from my home, where I have a Verizon DSL Internet connection routed through a Linksys WRT610n router. I had not been successful doing this. However, when I went to New York University to take a class, I connected through the school Wi-Fi network, and was successful in sending two mail messages to my GMail account. When I tried to send a third message, though, I was not successful, the message did not go through to my GMail account. I am perplexed as to why the mail goes through on some occasions, but not others. Is this common with all *nix systems or only OS X? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!! Thank you so much Smilie

mlmmj-send

mlmmj-send(1)						      General Commands Manual						     mlmmj-send(1)

NAME

       mlmmj-send - send mail to a mailinglist or similar

SYNOPSIS

       mlmmj-send [-L /path/to/list | -l listctrl] -m /path/to/mail [-a] [-D] [-F] [-h] [-r] [-R] [-s] [-T] [-V]

       -a: Don't archive the mail

       -D: Don't delete the mail after it's sent

       -F: What to use as MAIL FROM:

       -h: This help

       -l: List control variable.

       -L: Full path to list directory

       -m: Full path to mail file

       -r: Relayhost IP address (defaults to 127.0.0.1)

       -R: What to use as Reply-To: header

       -s: Subscribers file name

       -T: What to use as RCPT TO:

       -V: Print version

DESCRIPTION

       This binary is used to send all kinds of mail to mlmmj managed mailinglists, but can potentially be used standalone for sending mails.

       The only option that is not self explanatory is the -l list control option:

	      '1' means 'send a single mail'

	      This is used together with -F and -T to send one mail to one recipient.

	      '2' means 'mail to moderators'

	      Used for sending mails to the moderators of a list.

	      '3' means 'resend failed list mail'

	      '4' means 'send to file with recipients'

	      '5' means 'bounceprobe'

	      '6' means 'single listmail to single recipient'

BUGS

       This  manual page is very scarce documentation of the mlmmj-send binary. The reason for this is that it's really not supposed to be used by
       any human, but only supposed to be invoked from other mlmmj binaries. So in case more documentation is needed, please read the source.
