                          We just changed a server from RHEL to CentOS. We have some scripts which run some reports and e-mail them. The part that does the e-mailing is below.

    function email_report
    {
        ( echo "Report attached."; uuencode report.csv report.csv ) |
        mail -s "Report" john.doe@example.com -- -f noreply@example.com
    
    }

but the reports aren't received and we see this message:

> /usr/rp/dead.letter... Saved message in /usr/rp//dead.letter

Does anyone know how to solve this? It is just this script which is causing that message. Other scripts that send e-mail don't have an issue.

    end
