Hi,

I need to deliver a file to an e-mail distribution list through a script. Below is the command that I used for the same.

(uuencode abc.xls "abc.xls" ; echo "message") | mail -s "Test Mail" "abc@abc.com"

The problem that I faced is the e-mail id "abc@abc.com" did not exist. When I tried sending a mail to this ID from my outlook, I got a delivery failure message. But, is there a way to identify such failures through unix?

mail -v might do it.

From the man page:

-v Verbose mode. The details of delivery are displayed on the user's terminal.
