how do I send email through mail noninteractively?

laggerific · 12-14-2006, 04:39 PM

I thought it was done like this:
echo "This is the body of the email" > mail -s this is the subject someaddress@somedomain.com

But for some reason I'm not getting much luck with receiving messages sent like that...although if I do it interactively I'm getting them fine. Is there a better way to do this?

Have you tried it this way instead?

Code:

echo "This is the body of the email" | mail -s "this is the subject" someaddress@somedomain.com

I have now...that's what I was looking for.

Thank you thank you.
