I had been using Mail -s "msg-logs" bobgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx <

I am beginning to think that my ISP has done something to cause these
messages not to go through since it appeared to me that they were making
changes that created a lot of disruption in the mail server operation at
that time.
I have been trying to send other files such as:
Mail -s "msg-logs" bobgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx < /home/bobg/ootext/FAP.txt
with no success, nothing comes back? Normally these are filtered into a
Thunderbird directory "msg-logs" The filter set up looks ok. I haven't
changed anything there and if it didn't work I would hope the mail would
just show up in Inbox.
Is there a way I could see the outgoing message to be sure it is
actually being sent?
Can someone suggest a logical way to troubleshoot this problem? I've
been putting this problem off but it's an annoyance that needs fixing!
Send some small test mail that way.
[]$ mail -s 'test' bobgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx
test 1
<Ctl-D>CC:
[]$
Nothing I try gets through ...
Try tar'ing the dir up as a .tgz and see if that gets through.
I tried sending an existing ".tgz" file, no different.
Inspect the mail settings the ISP provides; turn off their spamassasin if
you can.
I am not aware of any way to do that. In fact they don't mention
processing mail for spam although they may do so. I don't see anything
listed under events in Firestarter so it looks like it's not blocked there.
I just haven't been able to find anything but I would like to see the
message that is supposed to be sent. Don't know how to get that?
