Hi Michael,
You probably got the one of the envelope addresses wrong.
Here is an example where I email myself a note whenever my main AstLinux box is
rebooted...
--
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.conf
mail -r "REBOOT-$HOSTNAME <nore...@abelbeck.com>" -s "Rebooted at '$HOSTNAME'"
m...@example.com <<EOF
Rebooted at '$HOSTNAME'
[Generated at $(date "+%H:%M:%S on %B %d, %Y")]
EOF
--
Here are the "mail" options ...
$ mail --help
--
Usage: mail [options...] to_addr
Options:
-a file Attach the given file to the message. (Multiple allowed)
--mime type Optionally define the MIME Type of each attached file. (Multiple
allowed)
-b address Send blind carbon copies to a comma-separated list of email
addresses.
-c address Send carbon copies to a comma-separated list of email addresses.
-e Check if mail is present. (Always exit status of "1")
-H Print header summaries for all messages and exit. (Always no
mail)
-r address Define the From address.
-S var=val Sets the internal option variable, from= and replyto= are
supported.
-s subject Define the subject text.
-t The sending message is expected to contain "To:", "Cc:" or
"Bcc:" fields.
-u user Reads the mailbox of the given user name. (Always no mail)
-V Print version and exit.
-v Verbose mode.
--help Show this help text
Note: Additional mail/mailx options are silently ignored for
compatibility.
--
This is particularly handy if you want to attach a file(s) with one or more -a
file pairs.
Test from the command-line.
