You always need an empty line between header and body or everything will be considered as 'header'. Also make shure the last line ends with a (invisible) newline. > I then run the following as root on Redhat 7.1 > > Cat /tmp/a | /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont know nothing about capital `Cat`, hope this was just a typo. Maybe DeadRat has a binary or script with this name (and unknown functionality) installed ? This is also a good candidate for the 'useless use of cat', (see http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~reriksso/unix/award.html) one should execute the example above as: /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /tmp/a (dont abuse the 'domain.com', 'example.com' would be much better) > The following was returned > > /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail: Subject:: command not found > /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail: To:: command not found > /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail: Mime-Version:: command not found > /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail: Content-Type:: command not found > /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail: Content-Transfer-Encoding:: command not Your shell (or Cat) seems badly confused, and I am missing the messages about Cat and Test: here. Makes the confusion complete. Different shells have different behaviour, thats why the script in my previous post starts with #!/bin/sh, the universally preferred and recommended shell for scripting (avoid csh at any cost). Depending on your shell commands will work differently in scripts. To use /bin/sh simply type `sh`, and the prompt will change. > Have I configured courier incorrectly? Courier's sendmail is not capable of such verbose messages, would only say something like '...unexpected EOF from submit...' :) Roland _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
