Question

How can I send an email through the UNIX mailx command

Answer 1

example

$ echo "something" | mailx -s "subject" [e-mail] 

send attachment

 $ uuencode file file | mailx -s "subject" [e-mail] 

and send the attachment and write the body of the message

 $ (echo "something\n" ; uuencode file file) | mailx -s "subject" [e-mail] 

Answer 2

Here you are:

 echo "Body" | mailx -r "FROM_EMAIL" -s "SUBJECT" "To_EMAIL" 

PS. The body and subject must be stored in double quotation marks. Remove quotation marks from FROM_EMAIL and To_EMAIL when replacing email addresses.

Answer 5

On the man page:

Sending mail

To send a message to one or more people, mailx can be called using the arguments, which are the names of the people to whom the message will be sent. Then the user must enter his message using "control-D" at the beginning of the line.

In other words, mailx reads the contents to be sent from standard input and can be redirected to normal. For example:.

 ls -l $HOME | mailx -s "The content of my home directory" [e-mail] 

Answer 6

 mail [-s subject] [-c ccaddress] [-b bccaddress] toaddress 

-c and -b are optional.

-s: specify a subject, if the object contains spaces, use quotation marks.

-c: Send copies of the copies to the user list, separated by commas.

-b: send blind copies of copies to a comma separated list of users.

Hope my answer clarifies your doubts.

 echo "Sending emails ..." NOW=$(date +"%F %H:%M") echo $NOW " Running service" >> open_files.log header=`echo "Service Restarting: " $NOW` mail -s "$header" [e-mail], \ [e-mail], \ < open_files.log 

Answer 8

FOR Sending attachments using mailx below

Use the new attachment switch (-a) in mailx to send attachments with mail. The -a options are easier to use with the uuencode command.

 # mailx -a file.txt -s "Subject" [e-mail] 

The above command will print a new blank line. Enter the message text and press [ctrl] + [d] to send. This will correctly attach the file to the outgoing message with the appropriate Content-Type headers and borders.

To make this more "scriptable", you can send a message without a body with the following:

 # mailx -a file.txt -s "Subject" [e-mail] < /dev/null 

To send mail with the message body, replace / dev / null in the above command with your message body file.
