command line email from qmail?

[mattmc97]

Hello all.

Mandrake 10.0
Qmailrocks v of qmail

I am trying to send a weekly reminder for a ship manifest to someone and was trying to automate it with a cron job. This is what I have so far:

cat email.txt | /usr/sbin/sendmail -F "ship_manifest" user@shippingco.com .

This will send an email to the person and show ship_manifest as the from address, but no subject.

I have tried -s like it postfix for subject but that does not work in qmail.

Any ideas how to get a subject on a command line email???

thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but I do not see anywhere on that page that it talks about adding a subject to an email message.

Please list the command to add a subject or be so kind to post a quote from the page if I missed it.

thanks.

Sorry,
the text file itself needs to be prepended with the Subject: line I believe.

Thus you'd echo it onto the top of the file and then use the example in the link.
