Mutt - Silently failing to send email from bash script from CI/CD pipeline
by jaysand from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CDQS)
Hi,
In my Azure ci/cd pipeline, I am executing tests on Ubuntu 20.04. At the end of the test, I created task in the azure pipeline , to send an email to team with attachment of test reports.
I am using bash script in the azure task. Here is the code:
Code:echo "line1"
sudo apt install mailutils
echo "line2"
sudo apt install mutt
echo "line3"
echo -e "Test Message" | mutt -s "[E2E ]TestReport - Test Status" -- myemail@org.comNow this one works once in a while. I receive an email in my mailbox with the From Name as vsts@fv-az355-724.norxwxgvcn4uzhpoax...l.cloudapp.net
Each time this email address is different.
I believe since my task is part of ci/cd pipeline, Each time deployment happens , this email is going to be auto-generated. My organization email system is somehow treating it as junk and not letting it enter everytime.
How do I solve this?
I also tried by editing the ~/.muttrc file and setting the hostname . Again it sent an email from that hostname only once and then it stopped. There are no errors or failures.
How do I solve this ?
Post Edit: while going through the logs, I came across following in the logs. The log is very long but this seems important. Mailutils is also installing postfix on its own.

Is there a way I can change the myhostname and destinations in postfix so that my organization email does not treat this email id as spam and reject it silently?
