In other words... you've got to supply the header and body within the file test. The header/body info should be separated by a blank line. i.e. # cat test From: me@xxxxxxxxxx To: mini_me@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: This is a test. test:test # sendmail me@xxxxxxxxxx <test BTW: Consider using the "mail" command. Then you don't have to create the headers within the file your trying to send. # cat test test:test # mail -s "This is a test." me@xxxxxxxxxx <test Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
