how to send mail on command with attachment

[satimis]

Hi all,

I'm following;
Postfix Virtual MailBox Clam Smtp Howto
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Po...tual_mailboxes

building a mail server.

Coming to;
Test ClamSMTP for outgoing mail
Send this file as an attachment to info@domain1.com
(it is a virus .zip file)

$ uuencode eicar_com.zip | mail info@domain1.com
It was hanging there for prolonged time. I have to cancel it manually.

$ mutt -s "Test mail" -a eicar_com.zip info@domain1.com < /tmp/mailmessage.txt

Can't stat info@domain1.com: No such file or directory
info@domain1.com: unable to attach file.

Any clue? TIA

B.R.

Have you tried without an attachment first?
mail -s "test" info@domain1.com
where domain1.com is your real domain name,and info is a real user.

The command is mail -s, not mutt -s.

mutt is a terminal email program.
The syntax looks fine for mutt. As the previous user suggested, try sending without attachment. You may be having network issues / dns issues as well.
