I think your problem is that "mail" defaults to trying to send via sendmail, and you probably haven't configured sendmail. If you post the whole error message it would help - headers and all. Lotus do a command line mail client tool for *nix which you could use instead of mail. For straight sending (to local trusted servers) sendmail is fine as it doesn't need to run as a daemon listening for incoming on port 25 so it is only exploitable by local users (which is usually acceptable - especially if you can stop paying them if they mess up). I've never configured the mail utility to work with anything but sendmail or Postfix. You find plenty on how to get sendmail to "send only", for most purposes you can just configure sendmail correctly (which is where I suspect your incorrect names are coming from), and then the message is delivered via SMTP to a relay host. You only need to get "smart" if it is likely the Notes SMTPA is often down or busy, then you can run sendmail via cron to process any queued messages that were not delivered to SMTPA first time. Faced with sorting out sendmail for this - I'd probably just install the Lotus Note command line client for mail - it aint pretty but if you do Notes it will make more sense than sendmail. So you were expecting; mail -> SMTPA -> Domino You probably need; mail -> sendmail or Postfix to provide SMTP connection to a relay -> SMTPA -> Domino You could have; Little Notes util who's name I forgot -> Domino I dare say there exist (or maybe mail can do SMTP) command line utilities that turn text into SMTP - I don't think mail does it by default. They are trivial to write with sendmail, or Perl around. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+QFvYGFXfHI9FVgYRAuYCAJ4+wRFhj58AGguAnHOz2eTd0BwUCACgwvKU s2LvQj26QvsiW3Fud511ohw= =f+Ad -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
