I had a script which called /usr/bin/mail which was working under
Ubuntu 15.10 (It called /usr/bin/mail.mailutils) but after upgrading to Ubuntu
16.04 - it appears
it was replaced with (as a default mailer) s-nail.
This introduced the following issue:
This command works to send an email:
$cat /tmp/foobar | mail -s 'EXAMPLE SUBJECT' -a /path/to/file/to_attach.jpg
-c [email protected] [email protected]
But when I add that exact same as a line to a bash file, e.g.
#!/bin/bash
cat /tmp/foobar | mail -s 'EXAMPLE SUBJECT' -a /path/to/file/to_attach.jpg
-c [email protected] [email protected]
This script FAILS and returns the error:
Alert: "[email protected]" is not a user of this system.
Here's the version of s-nail
#dpkg --list | grep s-nail
ii s-nail 14.8.6-1 amd64
Some things I've tried in the script to get it to work
#!/bin/bash
cat /tmp/foobar | mail -s 'EXAMPLE SUBJECT' -a /path/to/file/to_attach.jpg
-r real_username -c [email protected] [email protected]
#!/bin/bash
cat /tmp/foobar | mail -s 'EXAMPLE SUBJECT' -a /path/to/file/to_attach.jpg
-A real_username -c [email protected] [email protected]
But each time I get the same error
Alert: "[email protected]" is not a user of this system.
Is there a feature reason the command line execution would be different than
calling this from a script or is this a bug? Is there a different
set of flags I need to call to get this to work from scripts instead of the
command line?
Thanks in advance,
