Hello,
First of all... apologies if this isn't as Solaris-related as some of the
problems on here, but this still seemed like the best place to ask for help.
I have a cronjob that automatically sends the contents of a file as the body of
an email each month. The problem is that it uses the default "From" address
(which is the username@localmachine). I therefore need to specify my own "From"
address. here's the command i'm currently using:
mail -s 'Test' hobbs@mongeese.co.uk < /home/textFile
Setting the Reply-To isn't good enough, because i want to use this command to
email subscribers on my mailing list. My list only allows emails if the "From"
address specified is also subscribed.
My linux box has a "-a" option that allows me to specify my own headers on the
cmdline, but the version i'm using on my server doesn't allow this.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance,
Hobbs.
