CentOS 5 Comments

We have CentOS 6.3 on DELL server.  WE try to use following mail command but failed.  This command perfect work on CentOS 5.X.
$ mail -s “test…” user1@sun.com — -f NoReply@App.MD.gov test
. EOT
$ /home/app/oracle/dead.letter… Saved message in /home/app/oracle/dead.letter

problem come from “– -f NoReply@App.MD.gov”.  But it work correctly on CentOS 5.x. Anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

  • CentOS 6 man page says ‘-f’ means “mail the contents of the file.” YOu probably want ‘-r’

  • I have tried “-r” but still not work.

    The -r should work with mailx, but you need to drop the “–“, which was a flag for mail, and doesn’t work with mailx. [see my previous message about the mail program/flag changes between 5 and 6/7.]

    A couple of unrelated questions:
    1. Why 6.3 – why not upgrade to 6.6, with all the security and bugfixes.
    2. On a more personal and professional note: you’re email is from Taiwan.
    Why are you sending osmething from some app to the government of
    my state, Maryland, in the US?
