    Hi guys,

     

    I am trying to design an efficient way of sending emails from AIX. The method of which I choose is completely up to me, I was half tempted to use sendmail as it was setup. We have two servers, one runs AIX 5.3 and the other is AIX 7.1, ideally i would like it compatible with both as the 5.3 is our 'developer sandbox' server.

    I do not claim to be an AIX expert, but my main problem is the method that we are using is sendgrid, which uses port 587 along with a username and password different from the sender e-mail address.

    The main criteria I need are:

    * Can change from sender and from name

    * Can attach files

    * Can send formatted text as well as normal

    * Can authenticate using port 587, different username to the e-mail address used and a password

    * Though SSL is not required with sendgrid at present, it may be worth me setting this up in the near future.

    Many thanks for your time,

    James
