sending mail using qmail-inject

[Qmail]

Is it possible to script qmail-inject to send a full bodied message from the
command line?

I'm trying something like this:

( echo to: alerts@XYZnet ; echo from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; echo subject: logs ;
grep '@customer.com' /var/log/qmail/* ) | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

I get the header, ok, but no body?

Regards,

Lance

you might just need to throw an extra echo in between the subject and grep
so there's a blank line between the header and body...

-tcl.

I bet you got all the matching log entries in the header.

Make sure you put an empty line between the headers and the body.

( echo to: alerts@XYZnet ; echo from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; echo subject: logs ;
 echo; grep... ) | ..
