Sendmail by command line in Cpanel

[lowhigh]

Hi everybody!

Cpanel uses Exim for sending/receiving email
I have a bash shell that auto send mail to us by common command like this:

#!/bin/sh

(
action
) | /bin/mail -s 'My subject' my@email.com

But now, I use "exim" command to test but it requires more typing and i don't know how to put all in one shell scripts.

exim -v -odf my@email.com
My subject
.

Successfully......

Anybody can edit this command for scripts?

Thanks very much

Why are you attempting to send using exim odf specifically, since sendmail way will work? exim is used for debugging purposes, and unless your script is to test exim working, I'm uncertain why you would be attempting to use this for sending via your test script. Please explain the purpose.

Hi Tristan!

My purpose is very simple, i only want to send mail from Cpanel system to outgoing mail account with a notification.
I try the old script but it doesn't work, so i think, Exim has override sendmail binary, so i try Exim and see that it can send mail by those command!
Now you have any idea for my work?

From command line, this works:

/bin/mail -s 'Subject' email@domain.com < /dev/null

You might want to modify your code to ensure it terminates properly. Otherwise, you can review this discussion on using sendmail:
