How to configure mail client on RHEL5
Hi,
I want to use mail via command line in an script and mail the output to gmail.com account
bit like this
#!/bin/bash
#will send mail to root and user lala
for NAME in root lala
do
ADDRESS="$NAME@example.com
MESSAGE="Scripting is cool"
echo $MESSAGE | mail -s "mast" $ADDRESS
done
this works fine on my local postfix mail server but i want to run it on an diffrent pc and the change here is gmail.com but it doesnt sends any mail to my gmail.com account may be due to MTA issue i dont know about it...
Pls tell me steps to achive it
Thanks for helping

GMAIL might be checking that the sender address is valid?
Does your server hostname have an MX or A record in the DNS?

Ty for reply experts,
@fosiul
actually iam not making my mail server to talk to internet all what i want is i have an standalone machine(not part of my network) having internet connected(via DHCP ip) nd iam wanting my sript to send mails using mail command like above script
25,80,8080,443,993,995 110,135 ports are open on this machine i think its more than enough ;-)

your comments
"having internet connected(via DHCP ip)"
I am gussing you dont have any static ip from isp ,if it yes then
you would not able to sent any email to gmail, yahoo or hotmail whatever, even if you sent email to my mailserver it will reject
why ?? because those mail server will not accept any email comming from dhcp Ip.
what the solution : you will have to use smart host option to send email via your Isp mailserver.

:-(......k bro but thing is we are all behind NAT and right now iam routed via this static ip
59.164.8.56.man-static.vsn
though the route changes usually like somtimes i get 59.163.8.14 from ip checking sites may be due to OSPF routing.
may i sense some hope ;-D ?
and we get ips with private address range of 10.188.200.0/24

what shold i put in relayhost = ? the mail server address of yoru isp
it could be mail.yourisp.com
ask your isp
if you get 10.188.200.15, in that case you dont have static ip i guess, and in that case you will have to use isp mailserver

i meant *i didnt get it at all
check the proper mailserver address of your isp.
then use the mailserver .
about your this commnets :.i wonder how yahoo accept accept almost 10-15 spam mails that i get in my mailbox for enlarging an Pecker
its because, yahoo getting those smap from legitmate IP!!! yes,
example, when i build my mailserver, it been hacked and spammer was using this one to sent spam, since my IP is static with allthe reverse dns and other setup, yahoo or other mail server will recieved those spam email!!
the consequences is, next day my ip was blocked as spam!!
your comments:the ip its showing is not my dns server ip but its my public ip
find out, what ip of the mailserver of yoru ISp use that one ..
if that does not work then there is some issue with ip and your isp ..
then use the mailserver .

spamhaus list sucks in bigtime an this just an another example of that these foolish people doesnt know how many people behind an NATTED subnet these guys think they own internet bloddy *%#@^
see the silly notice
Important: If you are using any normal email softwaresuch as Outlook, Entourage, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and you are beingblocked by this Spamhaus PBL listing when you try to send email, thereason is simply that you need to turn on "SMTP Authentication"in your email software settings (Tools : Accounts : Properties :Outgoing Mail Server : check "My server requires authentication").
If you do not know how to do this, ask your Internet Service Provider for help with "SMTP Authentication".
i wonder wher i do his in mutt .....LOL
