...why ?
Are you using sendmail, or are you using postfix ?
I need to send mails out from an RHES4.x box (which does
not have Postfix installed& sendmail is not supposed to be
started as it's hardened for security reason). This box is on
the same subnet as a Postfix server. So I needed a way to
route mails from this RHES4.x box via that Postfix server.
My first attempt in using an MUA (a Perl script) from
http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/smtp-cli/ gave no joy.
Now, someone has given me another MUA solution which
doesn't require me to install any RPM package:
Download& compile the tool below
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msmtp/files/msmtp/1.4.26/
to get the executable binary on the RHES4.x box& on this
box, create .msmtprc file in the home directory of the user
that needs to send email (in RHES4.x box) that has the lines:
account postfix
host smtp.mypostfix_domain.com
from joe_smith@mypostfix_domain.com
auth on
user joe_smith@mypostfix_domain.com
password secret
Then I can use the following Shell script (with the compiled
msmtp to send out mails from the RHES4.x box:
{ echo -e 'To:some...@theirdomain.com\nMIME-Version: 1.0
(mime-construct 1.9)\nContent-Type:
application/octet-stream\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n'
cat myattachment.bin | openssl base64 } | msmtp --account=postfix
joe_smith will be a dummy email account on the postfix
so the password 'secret' will not be so much of a security
issue.

So... what, exactly, is not working ?
