Many do not these days - which means outgoing mail will need to be sent using your ISP's mail sending agent. I suggest before sending via command line tools - you use a GUI mail client such as thunderbird - and set up a mail account on thunderbird using the instructions from your ISP. If you can get that to work - then you can worry about using the command line mailx program and learn how to have it (or your local sendmail) use your ISP for outgoing mail. gene -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
