Confirmation email

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

I'd use a wrapper script (instead of execmail) that will do nothing more
than:

#!/bin/sh
( echo "Date: `date +..."  # output date in the desired format 
  cat -                    # pass through input data
) | /usr/lib/mail/execmail $@

and specify that script als "MAILER".
