Re: specify SMTP relay server in mutt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Have to remove both -a & -S in order not to get the syntax
error but the emails never arrive:
(I'm able to 'telnet 172.20.1.92 25' from the server that mailx is issued
from)

# mailx -s "test5" -u root  "smtp=172.20.1.92" recipient@xxxxxxx <
/tmp/cis/group.tmp
    Or
# mailx -s "test5" -u root "smtp=172.20.1.92:25" recipient@xxxxxxx <
/tmp/cis/group.tmp


If I issue just the command below from the sendmail relay
server itself (without the -S & without "smtp=IP_of_SMTP"),
the emails arrive:

 mailx -s "from SMTP2 server" external_recipient@xxxxxxx < /tmp/tst.dat

I browsed thru the man pages for mailx : can't
locate a -S or "smtp=a.b.c.d" option.  Did I miss
something?
