Re: [CentOS] email and MS outlook

We use Microsoft Outlook heavy at school but our backed is CentOS. I use echo "Foo" | mail -s "subject" addr@unc.edu a lot. Is it possible to change the priority to High so Outlook will understand it? The priority meaning the email will be sent to the normal email queue but on Outlook it would have the exclamation point.

Maybe just a stupid idea . . .

If it is just a header thing, as it's been suggested, I would try procmail.

Your command would be something like

echo "Foo" | mail -s "subject:real_recipient" highpriority@unc.edu

The procmail script for the highpriority account would add in the necessary header, pull real_recipient out of subject & forward it to real_recipient@unc.edu.
