Re: 'find' and 'sendmail'

You are correct. The space is a bogus issue.

I think the problem here is that "<" is a shell meta-character, but "find" is passing that directly to sendmail, bypassing the shell. So there is nothing to interpret "<" as file redirection.

Simplest would be to write a short shell script to mail one file, and then use that shell script as command that is run by "find ... -exec".
