I've followed this thread all day long, and it reminded me I've been wanting
to do this...
So, at the end of the day I took yet another shot at it and I got it to work
BUT only if the "sending" user has SM capability!
As usual, "you local site conditions may vary", and ours is quite varied,
but it boils down to the internet connection we have is via a Unix box of
some sort at the "headquarters" office [insert .sig of "you are in a maze of
twisty passages" here... :) ]
After getting it to work "online", I created the following job:
!job SENDMSG,tom.emerson,work
!
!run MAILX.HPBIN.SYS;stdin=MESSAGE;info=&
!"-s 'test subject' [log in to unmask]"
!
!eoj
The file "MESSAGE" contains the text I want e-mailed, and this obviously
runs WITHOUT the benefit of "the shell" Streaming it as myself results in:
:COMMENT STREAM FILE SENDMSG.JCL.EMERSON
:COMMENT STREAMED BY TOM.EMERSON,WORK ON LDEV 47
:COMMENT ON SAT, JAN 01, 2000, 5:40 PM
:
:RUN MAILX.HPBIN.SYS;stdin=MESSAGE;info=&
:"-s 'test subject' [log in to unmask]"
/etc/sendmail.cf: line 0: cannot open: Permission denied
"dead.letter" 17/408
END OF PROGRAM
:
:EOJ
CPU sec. = 7. elapsed min. = 1. SAT, JAN 1, 2000, 5:40 PM. [heh heh heh
-- I'm on the y2k machine...]
If I run GOD within the job [essentially picking up SM capability], MAILX
runs fine.
Here are the "permissions" of the file:
EAGLE: %listf /etc/sendmail.cf,posix
MPEX %LISTF /etc/sendmail.cf PAGE 1
SYSTEM EAGLE TOM.EMERSON,WORK SAT, JAN 1, 2000, 5:52 PM

sendmail.cf
BA 338!SERVER.SENDMAIL 177!SENDMAIL Must Today

EAGLE: %sh -L
MPE/iX Shell and Utilities (A.50.02)
shell/iX> ls -al /etc/sendmail.cf
-rw-rw---- 1 SERVER.SENDMAIL SENDMAIL 28118 Jan 1 17:31
/etc/sendmail.cf
shell/iX>
Which leads me to believe I still don't have this "properly" configured
[but, at least, "sufficiently" configured to send messages at some level] I
suspect that MAILX.HPBIN is attempting to send the file directly RATHER than
connect to "localhost:25" and utilize the services of the sendmail "daemon"
[jdaemon is running /SENDMAIL/PUB/DAEMON]; if I understand things correctly,
the "daemon" should be the only process that has access to the
/etc/sendmail.cf file anyway, thus the need to chown the file to
SERVER.SENDMAIL.
/etc/mailx.rc:
set sendmail=/SENDMAIL/PUB/SENDMAIL
# was: set sendmail=/bin/tsmail
set sendwait
