Mail
I want to send a mail through shell script with the following command,

Code:
#!/bin/bash
mail -s "Test" upload.xxx@example.com < /root/mail.txt

When I am executing the above command through shell script,the following error occurs,
Code:
/etc/mail/submit.cf:line 545:fileclass:cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': World writable directory.

What is the output from:
Code:
ls -l /etc/mail

(the option is the letter ell; not the digit one) on your system.

I'd rather say it's the directory itself...

Agreed; I intended to say:
Code:
ls -la /etc/mail

kannansoft1985,
Since we have the contents now, please also show us the output from:
Code:
ls -ld /etc/mail

so we can see the permissions on the directory itself.
