mailx command doesn't send out the mail randomly

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • We have a script that runs the mailx command and sends an attachment.
  • This command is executed many times and the majority of the emails are generated and I can see them in the /var/log/maillog file
  • But, we have noticed on a daily basis there are times when the command is executed and nothing appears in the log file nor does the recipient receive the email
  • How can we diagnose and resolve this issue?
