[WBEL-users] setting mail to relay

[Nerdskool]

I apologize if this post shows up more than once... I forgot which email 
address I used to subscribe to this list.


Anywho, you need to convert the attachment.  I use uuencode for this and 
pipe it to the mail command, but you can use mutt to send your report as 
a MIME attachment as well.  You can create a shell script & drop it into 
cron.daily or wherever you like (see example below... season to taste):


#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/tripwire -m c > /etc/tripwire/report.txt
uuencode /etc/tripwire/report.txt /etc/tripwire/report.txt | mail 
me at mail.com -s "Web Report"
rm -rf /etc/tripwire/report.txt



If you prefer a MIME attachment, use something like this (make sure you 
install mutt first):

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/tripwire -m c > /etc/tripwire/report.txt
mutt -s "Web Report" -a /etc/tripwire/report.txt me at email.com
rm -rf /etc/tripwire/report.txt
