Dear all,
I've been working with AIX for, um, 15 years now and I have read all I can about the above, but I am stuck. Everything seems to point to using sendmail on the command line to embed a uuencoded attatchment will not work.
Using something like "(cat plain.txt;uuencode attach.file targ.type) | mail addr@server" works fine, but I need to use the features of sendmail that allow the sender's identity to be changed.
We currently use the latter function in a unix password reset script to e-mail the generated password to the user's MS Outlook account, but we hide the sender and replace it with the helpdesk so if they reply, the mail ends up in a sensible place as there is no route to direct mail back tot he unix host.
Is there anything in the mail command that would allow the function?
I am aware that this could be used for devious reasons, so if anyone would prefer to respond directly rather than posting, I would hope that could be arranged.
Thanks, in advance,
Robin
