- I would like to use metamail instead of sendmail as I'd like to send
attachments. But metamail is only writeable by root. Do I change this
permission? Create a group and put the oracle user in it and give write
permission to that group? Or create a link to it that's world-writeable?
- It says in the documentation NOT to make the utl_file_dir one that
has symbolic links to any other directory. And yet that's what I would
have to do, no? metamail is in /usr/bin and sendmail is in /usr/sbin.
Or I could go with the symbolic link solution mentioned above ...
- In any case, another strange question - I know how to use metamail
to encode and send gifs and html pages. But HOW do you send an HTML
page and actually have the gifs show up? When I do this the HTML code
(forms, buttons, etc) works but of course the IMGs don't come through.
Of course not as the are pointing to a "path" that the email app
doesn't understand. And yet I receive HTML pages via email from many
sites ... How is this done?
Curiously awaiting any assistance.
