mailx or sendmail command

[yy2]

Can anyone provide the command how to send a text file as a attachment with a proper subject using mailx or sendmail command in UNIX.

Note: I am using HP-UX OS. The file send should be the attachment, not in the message body. In addition, I need to put in the mail subject as well.

I am using a script, wich I found in

http://itrc.hp.com

substitute sender, receptient, servername, yourdomain

#!/sbin/sh

#
# cut some blahblah
#

func_send_email()
{

(
echo "From: sender@yourdomain.com"
echo "To: reciptient@yourdomain.com"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;"
echo ' boundary="PAA08673.1018277622/servername.yourdomain.com"'
echo "Subject: set the subject here"
echo "--PAA08673.1018277622/servername.yourdomain.com"
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
cat < $1
echo "--PAA08673.1018277622/servername.yourdomain.com"
echo "Content-Type: text/html;"
echo " name=\"$2\""
echo "Content-Disposition: attachment;"
echo " filename=\"$2\""
cat < $2
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
}

#
# cut some blahblah
#

func_send_email mailbody.txt mailattachment.html

uuencode file.txt file.txt | mailx -s "attached is file" you@mail.com

Franz,

The 1st argument you indicate on the command line "mailbody.txt" doesn't seem to work. When I run this script, it only sends the attachment and the message body is blank.

Thanks,

hmmm, I have seen problems with attachments but not with mailbodies.
Are you sure you have the same
boundary="PAA08673.1018277622/servername.yourdomain.com"
everywhere? Please replace servername and domainname by the values used by your senderhost

Try

ux2dos yourfilename.txt | uuencode yourfilename | mailx -m -s "test attachment" mail@mail.com

make sure you have a relay set in sendmail.cf
