Mail Problems

[nmorph]

Hello
I have a strange problem that I could not figure out how to solve. I'm running Aix 5.2 and I have implement a routine on a normal user that on a particular time of the day generate a report to a file and then redirect the contents of the file to a mail.

mail -s "Title" -c mail_Adress </tmp/Z900.txt

But for some reason that I could not understant the mail never came complete. Normally it miss a lot on information. There is some parameter on sendmail.cf that I need to change in order to solve this mistery?

Can anyone help me on this issue?

Best Regards

Nuno Catarino

Hi nmorph,

Have you tried to send the file as an attachement using the -f option?

mail -s "Title" -c mail_Adress -f /tmp/Z900.txt

There is an option in the sendmail.cf that limits the size of the message but i'm not sure if this is your problem! You can give it a try though:

Maximum Message Size

Note: This function is available beginning in AIX 4.2 only. 
To avoid overflowing your system with a large message, the MaxMessageSize option can set an absolute limit on the size of any one message. This will be advertised in the ESMTP dialogue and checked during message collection.

I think the parameter is called maxsize.

For more info, have a look here:

Hello khalidaaa, thank you for your message

If I use the send mail with the option -f I recieved the file attach. But the problem is that the user don't want the file at attach, they need to recieve the content of the file inside the mail.

The flag of maximum message size is not set. Do you know the limit of the max size by default?

I think zero indicates unlimited size!
