Has anyone else encountered the following compatibility change in mailx-12.4 (in RHEL 6.2), versus mailx-8.1.1 from the RHEL 5 distributions?
In particular, the following command encounters an error: --------------------------------snip-------------------------------------------- echo "foo bar baz" | mail [email protected] -s "foo bar baz test" WARNING: RunAsUser for MSP ignored, check group ids (egid=<SOME_ID>, want=<OTHER_ID>) can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser. -----------------------------------/snip---------------------------------------- But running the command this way...just moving the recipient address to the end of the line, works without issue: ---------------------------------snip----------------------------------------- echo "foo bar baz" | mail -s "foo bar baz test" [email protected] ---------------------------------/snip---------------------------------------- Thoughts? Is this a change in the specification for mail and/or mailx that all recipients must be listed at the end, that perhaps is just now being enforced? If so, does anyone have a primary source for that information? Thanks. --Aaron
