Launchd won't send email via shell script

I'm trying to send an email via shell script. e.g. my shell script is something like this:
#!/bin/sh
echo testing | mail -s 'this is a test' [email protected]
My launchdaemon runs the script: /usr/local/scripts/testscript.sh
I know the script is working, because I added some debugging (I added a line: echo is this working and sure enough, "is this working" is showing up in the console) but the email part kicks off an error message about 30 seconds later: Stray process with PGID equal to this dead job: PID ### PPID 1 sendmail
The script works when I run it with a cron job. But why wouldn't it work as a launchd item? And why is it I'm only having problems with the email segment of my scripts? I've tried other scripts and they all seem to work fine.

There are no errors reported. I'm looking in /var/log/mail.log.

Webserver on DMZ cannot send email via php script using SMTP (cisco firewall pix 515e)

Hello,
I have two web servers that are sitting in a DMZ behind a Cisco Firewall PIX 515e. The webservers appear to be configured correctly as our website and FTP website are up. On two of our main website, we have two contact forms that use a simple html for to call a php script that uses smtp as its mailing protocol. Since, I am not the network administrator, I don't quite understand how to read the current configurations on the firewall, but I suspect that port 25 is blocked, which prevents the script from actually working or sending out emails. What I've done to narrow the problem done is the following: I used a wamp server to test our scripts with our smtp servers settings, was able to successfully send an email out to both my gmail and work place accounts. Currently, we have backupexec loaded on both of these servers, and when I try to send out an alert I never receive it. I think because port 25 is closed on both of those servers. I will be posting our configuration. if anyone can take a look and perhaps explain to me how I can change our webservers to communicate and successfully deliver mail via that script, I would gladly appreciate it. our IP range is 172.x.x.x, but it looks like our webservers are using 192.x.x.x with NAT in place. Please someone help.
Thanks,
Jeff Mateo

Amit,
I applaud your creativity in seeking to solve your problem, however, this sounds like a real mess in the making. There are two things I don't like about your approach. One, cron -> calling Java -> calling PHP -> accessing database, it's just too many layers, in my opinion, where things can go wrong. Two it seems to me that you are exposing data one your website (with the PHP) that you may not want expose and this is an important consideration when you are dealing with emails and privacy and so on.
I think the path of least resistance would be to get a new user account added to the MySQL database that you can access remotely with your Java program. This account can be locked down for read only access and be locked down to the specific IP or IP range that your Java program will be connecting from.
Again I applaud your creativity but truly this seems like a hack because of the complexity and security concerns you are introducing and I think is a path to the land of trouble. Hopefully you will be able to get a remote account set up.

I don't have much idea in shell scripts all i want is, in my shell script i need to get the parent concurrent program output and that needs to be emailed to the intended person.
Please help to to get the shell script commands for this.I do not have any shell script to share, sorry! If you want the query to get the parent request_id so you can get the log/out file name/location from then please refer to:

Cannot send email via Hotmail through port 587 with Secure Connection (SSL) set

Something is blocking my attempts to send email (with Outlook Express) via my hotmail.com account. The error I receive is as follows:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
When Hotmail.com first changed over to a POP3 server (Sept 2009), I could send emails through them using port 587, which they require. But then something happened, with no changes on my part, to disable my ability to send.
I have checked and rechecked my Outlook Express account settings. I can send email through another third-party mail account (at 1&1 Internet.com) using port 587, which does not require setting SSL to yes. I can also ping the Hotmail SMTP server via port 587 and receive a response from it.
I connect to Verizon DSL via a Westell 327W modem/router. Clearly it is not blocking port 587 without SSL. Does it have the capability to block SSL traffic? Or is the Verizon server the culprit, not allowing emails to be sent via Hotmail.com?
Two different computers on my LAN have the same problem sending emails via Hotmail.com. I have tried everything the Hotmail people have suggested; at this point they think it is an ISP problem, hence this post. This problem doesn't make sense to me and is driving me crazy. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

You can still have your reply address set to your hotmail address. And you don't have to really remember to do anything. Configure your client for the HOTMAIL account with Verizon's outgoing server. It will automatically send via Verizon. You don't reveal your verizon.net address, you are just using their server to transmit.

does it error out or does it just not go through?

I can no longer receive or send email via my Yahoo account from my iphone6. I've downloaded several "help guides" from the internet and tried them, including deleting the Yahoo account and re-adding it via imap. But nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Is anyone else having trouble sending email via O2 using Apple Mail (However, I can receive fine)

Since the upgrade to Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8) I have noit been able to send email via Apple Mail through the O2 network in the UK. O2 say they are aware of this but that it is something that Apple need to address via a patch.

Following a 45 minute call to O2 yesterday I've just had a further conversation with O2 who advised me to change my 'port setting' to 25. Mail now works fine! Panic over.

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas?

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.

Gmail taking ages to send email via mail app

I bought a MacBook air yesterday and set up my gmail account on the mail app. Everything seemed to be working okay at first but now it's takkng at least five minutes to send a plain text email, one email I tried sending last night didn't send until this morning! I tried changing the SSL port to 25, 465 and 587 not only do they not work but then it stops my mail from moving into the folders or trash, they move and then go back to my inbox.
Please help!

When I am in a hotel out of town or overseas- or just anywhere where I don't have my home ISP - how can I not only RECEIVE but also SEND eMail via my Mail program?
If your ISP is like mine, it authenticates you for outgoing e-mail by being able to determine that you're accessing the Internet from within their network. If your ISP is so configured, they'll offer the ability to authenticate to their SMTP server with a password. My ISP does not.
However, MobileMe does provide its own authenticating SMTP server that you should be able to use from anywhere. Try an SMTP server of smtp.mac.com (smtp.me.com will probably also work) with settings of "Use default ports", "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)", and "Authentication" by password, your "User Name" the part of your MobileMe ID before the "at" sign, and your password your MobileMe password.
For non-MobileMe outgoing e-mail, you'll need to locate an SMTP server that you can use.
Also: Anyway to attach more than 1 file (say photo) at a time using MobileMe and my mail account? For 22 small photos do I have to hit attach each time? I can't seem to select the folder they are in and get all 22 to attach...
I haven't tried that, but I would expect to have to attach them one at a time.

One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

Cannot send emails via at&t

I have at&t internet and cannot send using my at&t email. I can send via gmail. Or if I go use someone elses internet, not being at&t, I can send. At&t said it is a mac issue. I told them it is their issue with macs since I can send using other providers.
Anyone know of a fix?

Does not help.. my problem is a little different
