But the problem now is it is coming in as an "unknown sender" which then it keeps dumping into my spam folder. I have the from but it doesn't seem to be looking at that.

Does anyone have an idea with the command above so when my gmail gets the e-mail the from is from somewhere and not unknown sender?

Gmail treats anything not coming from a reverse lookup DNS mail server as a second class citizen (and if enough emails come from said citizen they block it entirely from reaching anyone on their servers). Ultimately you must set up your mail server to reverse look up or configure your sendmail to use gmail for smtp.

using this command, I took away the e-mail address in the beginging

(echo From: Simple_1 ; echo Subject: Simple_1 ; echo To: Foodconnex ; tail /appl/ai/ai.log) | sendmail `cat /appl/ai/recipients-list`

and added the mail to my contacts so it would no longer go to spam

Thank you all for your input!!!
