In > this way, there is no danger that intervening MTAs (Mail Transfer > Agents) will Another suggested uuencode too. Which I'd prefer to installing procmail/formail, at least to learn how to use it. Also, this system is strictly a mail server on which I don't like to haphazardly install programs I'm unfamiliar with. At least those that don't come with the system. :-) I tried this by analogy with man uuencode's example (uuencode src_tree.tar.Z | mail sys1!sys2!user) uuencode /var/mail/test |mail -s test user@domain.com Which didn't work. I'm quite ignorant about /usr/bin/mail and have never used uuencode, and haven't found reference yet to the sys1!sys2!user syntax or its interpretation.
