I am new to Linux and we want to broadcast an email to every member of our institution.
Currently we have more than 150 email addresses and 2 email lists.
the mail server is running on Redhat version 5, x86_64/i386

Hi,

What mail server you're running? Sendmail, postfix, other?
For sendmail that comes with RHEL, take a look at this

Regards

I use such script:

mailing

Code:

#!/bin/bash



# "first@,second@" -- one e-mail to all (without spaces)

# "first@, second@" -- each e-mail separately (with spaces)

ADDRESSES="ADDRESSES.TXT"

MAIL="MAIL.TXT"

SIGNATURE="~/.signature"



SUBJECT="This isn't spam 3"



# "first -a second -a third" -- a few attachments

ATTACHMENT=""



REPLY="me@my.own.org"



cat $MAIL > /tmp/mail

cat $SIGNATURE >> /tmp/mail



for address in `cat $ADDRESSES`

do

    if [ "$ATTACHMENT" != "" ]

    then

        nail -s "$SUBJECT" -a $ATTACHMENT -r $REPLY $address < /tmp/mail

    else

        nail -s "$SUBJECT" -r $REPLY $address < /tmp/mail

    fi

done



rm /tmp/mail

To use it you have to prepare ADDRESSES.TXT, MAIL.TXT, and ~/.signature files as well as fullfill SUBJECT, ATTACHMENT, and REPLY variables.
