You're right! The mail server was not correctly configured by my system administrator! Now it works fine!
Reading "man mail" and "man sendmail" I've not found any hint about attaching files to the mails! BTW I suppose it is possible! Isn't it? Is there a complete documentation for these two great applications? I think there could be other interesting tricks to learn about them! :-) Bye... > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Miles O'Neal > Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 17:16 > To: Scientific Linux Users > Subject: RE: Mail from a script > > Manuel Mussini said... > |Could you help me a little more to understand the syntax? > |It's not clear to me what "cat <<Z" and "Z" do! > > That's covered in the man pages for the shells, but > basically it delimits a "here document".
