Using sendmail at the command line
What is the commandline format to send a text file using sendmail? In linux, I want to send a file named test.txt to jcj@tiac.net. If I use "sendmail -v jcj@tiac.net", I can then enter the message and it reaches the end person. How can I send the premade file. I've done this in the past but have forgotten the command line syntax. Thank you

sendmail -v jcj@tiac.net < test.txt

How about:
mail -f myfile.txt
then follow prompts:
Subject, recipient, etc.
"Ctrl-D" to end message.

rkuethe, i'm afraid mail -f myfile.txt
is to extract mail from an alternate mailbox called myfile.txt

Try this from the UNIX command line:
( cat /tmp/a ; uuencode /tmp/a file.txt ) | sendmail rallen@devifx1
( cat /tmp/a ; uuencode /tmp/a file.txt ) | sendmail rallen@devifx1
