I've been using nail for many months to send email from scripts. We
just did an OS upgrade and can no longer get the script to work. Here
is an example:

echo "TEST Mail" | nail -s "TEST Mail2" -r "user(a)cc2" -S
smtp="smtp://outgoing.verizon.net:25" -S smtp-auth-user="login" -S
smtp-auth-user="user" -S smtp-auth-password="****"
whitteng(a)con2inc.com

smtp-server: 550 5.7.1 Use fully qualified domain name
"/root/dead.letter" 11/301
.. . . message not sent.

I've made everything I can think of FQDN so does anyone get what the
error means?

Thanks,
Gary Whitten

Why do you have *two* smtp-auth-user= arguments?

"user(a)cc2" is most certainly not an FQDN on the rhs. Is the IP address for a
machine named cc2 in your /etc/hosts file?

It means "user(a)cc2" is not a valid email address as far as
outgoing.verizon.net is concerned because "cc2" is not -- wait for it
-- a fully-qualified domain name.

Thank you all for your help. I did finally get it working. It did have
to do, partially, with "cc2" not being a FQDN, BUT, I don't know why
it should matter or even be checked since that is only the "from"
field to be displayed - it is not actually used. But it did make a
difference. When I fixed that, I didn't get an error message any more,
but mail still didn't get sent. I was NEVER able to get it to work
using an SMTP server. I did get it to work by properly configuring
postfix, which was already installed and running. Once postfix was
configured properly and I removed all SMTP params., then mail worked
properly.
