Howdy,

Anyone know how to use the SENDMAIL function in redHat to send emails in HTML format?

Thanks,
David Lozzi

You mean using the program called "Sendmail" or do you mean some other feature of the OS? I've never udsed Redhat before.

I've done this in Unix...but never tried in Linux. Not sure if the functionality is the same. Here's a basic example...hope it works for you.

(
echo "From: me@xyz.com "
echo "To: them@xyz.com "
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; "
echo ' boundary="PAA08673.1018277622/server.xyz.com"'
echo "Subject: Test HTML e-mail."
echo ""
echo "This is a MIME-encapsulated message"
echo ""
echo "--PAA08673.1018277622/server.xyz.com"
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo ""
echo "<html>
<head>
<title>HTML E-mail</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href='http://www.google.com'>Click Here</a>
</body>
</html>"
echo "--PAA08673.1018277622/server.xyz.com"
) | sendmail -t
