Sending email from a shell script

Dec 8th, 2004

have written a shell script in which I use fastmail to send emails from the shell script.
It sends email to my company account with no problem. But I wan to send the same email to a pager number so that the pager goes off when the particular condition occurs.
I see that email is not being send to the pager from this script.

I tried sending email from my company email account to the pager email and the pager goes of with the email from company email account.

Any idea why this might be happening so? Is there anything else that I should use to send emails to pager

Thanks!
