Have you tried this, Suresh?
It says "emulates mailx", and that's it.
And on my system (RedHat, which is fairly mainstream) mailx
does not exist.
How to inject mail on a Unix system is extremely poorly
documented, if you have ANY man pages that describe how
to do this programmatically, I'd like to see them, I am
collecting docs on mail interfaces. If you use /sbin/sendmail
it's man page has an extremely terse description of what it
does, nullmailer-inject has a better description, but only
for it's interface, not for the sendmail-compatible one.
Mostly, how to do this is Unix hand-me-down knowledge, you
know if you've done it, or read code that does it.
Perhaps you can send us a copy of mailx.man if you've
got one, I for one would be curious to see what it is.
Cheers,
Sam
p.s. Manish, call mutt with the destination addresses on
the command line, using the -s option to specify the subject,
and pipe an rfc2822 formatted message into it on stdin, in
summary. Read about mutt's alias command if you want to define
a group, rather than putting all the destination addresses
on the command line. Read the popen() man page, if you haven't
done this kind of thing before from C before, or the equivalent
in whatever language you're using.
