| said by nixen  :Why not use mailx instead of trying to figure out sendmail? I actually started out with mail(x). On this system, mail(x) calls sendmail to send mail. I got absolutely nowhere with it.
The problem isn't with sendmail. It's with this version of 'sh'. I've finally tracked the problem down to how 'xarg' and 'exec' are parsed from within a 'sh' script. The parsing is not correct when redirection of a file to standard input is involved. For most cases, the parsing works fine. Just not in this case.
I'm taking a different approach entirely. Instead of writing just emails to a directory, I'm also writing short, 3-line 'sh' scripts to another directory. Then I select that directory and execute the scripts there.
Fortunately, this is a relatively low volume application. |
