Very Computer

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to email a html file as an attachment using sendmail. It
works when I send it to my yahoo or att account, however I don't get
an email when I send it to my hotmail account. Yes, the "from" address
is on my hotmail "safe-list" & I have tried sending just a plain email
to hotmail and it works.

Here is my script: I have borrowed it from one of the postings on this
group.

### Begin script

FILENAME=test.html

echo "To: $RECEIVER" >> mailfile
echo "Subject: TEST" >> mailfile
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0" >> mailfile
echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"SGT-boundary-line\""

Quote:>> mailfile

echo "X-MS-Has-Attach: yes" >> mailfile
echo "X-Mailer: AIX" >> mailfile
echo "X-Credit: ZZZ" >> mailfile
echo "\n" >> mailfile

echo "\n--SGT-boundary-line" > workfile
echo "Content-Type: text/html;" >> workfile
echo "        name=\"$FILENAME\"" >> workfile
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" >> workfile
echo "Content-Disposition: attachment;" >> workfile
echo "        filename=\"$FILENAME\"\n" >> workfile

cat $FILENAME >> workfile

echo "\n--SGT-boundary-line--\n" >> workfile

cat workfile >> mailfile

/usr/lib/sendmail -t $RECEIVER < mailfile

### End of script

For some reason, this does not work for hotmail. Can someone shed some
light & point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Suhas

Likely, the script was made on some *nix[tm] and won't run on a
Linux box with adding "-e".

However, what about 'man uuencode'.

I am running this script on an AIX box. Not quite sure what the -e
option does or will do. It's not in the man pages.

Thanks,
Suhas

does it work for other emails? If so try to replace the \n with \r\n . I
think sendmail does that, but you can try it anyway:

$ sed 's/$/'"$(echo x | tr x \\015 )"'/' mailfile | sendmail -t from
