using mailx is almost certainly not the ideal solution for your system ..
there are a number of Perl modules that deal with sending mail .. they all
have different merits
my personal favourite (but by no means your only or even best choice) is
Mail::Sender
it handles sending attachments nicely .. and it's platform independant (ie.
it makes the SMTP socket connection directly rather than relying on sendmail
- NB: most of the available modules are at least capable of doing this now
too)
get it from CPAN
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Mail-Sender
it's probably available via PPM if that's your cup of tea

In New York, a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law
specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and
looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of
this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a
"pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a
stroll. - http://dumblaws.com/
