I'm trying to set up some e-mail using the -bm and -t switches to Exim. I think they'll do what I want to do. Can anyone provide some pointers? I think I'm missing something obvious - specifically, exactly how a "locally-generated, non-SMTP message on the current input" is generate? I need to send a largish quantity of customized e-mails - I have a mailing database with information that is anywhere between six months and three years old. It has e-mail addresses & mailing addresses. I can make it generate either single files or one big file to feed into exim (although I'd actually prefer one big one) - but I can't figure out how to get exim to _take_ the data! I've tried the following: cat filename | exim -bm -t exim -bm -t < filename These both generate an e-mail, but it's not picking up my From or To lines. exim -bm -t filename This requires a Control-D and then generates an empty e-mail. -- Scott Raun sraun at fireopal.org
