Try to install mailx apt-get install mailx You can also telnet to localhost on port 25 and send an email by hand. telnet localhost 25 It should then greet you. Then you type: helo localhost mail from:daniel.dalton@xxxxxxxxxxx rcpt:yourothermailaddress@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx data subject: testing mail Some more sentences if you want, end with a dot on a line on its own. . then exit or quit, can't remember now. Replace the email addresses in my telnet example with real ones. hth, Willem On Fri, 30 Nov 2007, Daniel Dalton wrote: > On 30/11/2007 2:52 AM, John Heim wrote: > > > > echo "hello" | mail -s test1 'daniel.dalton47@xxxxxxxxx' > > I just get "mail command not found". > > Any ideas? > > -- > Daniel Dalton > > http://members.iinet.net.au/~ddalton/ > daniel.dalton47@xxxxxxxxx > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > > -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions, e-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF) standard.
