By default, Red Hat systems (including Fedora) run sendmail daemon after install. All you need to do is uncomment (remove 'dnl' at the beginning) the line: dnl define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider') in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and replace smtp.your.provider with valid smtp server name (that will accept relaying for your outbound email) Once you did this, run: make -C /etc/mail and restart sendmail: service sendmail restart Done. Sending email is done by running `mail` from command line (look up man mail for options). vnk On 3/29/06, Matt England <mengland@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > (I'm cross-posting this to Fedora and Redhat lists, I hope that's ok.) > > I would like to send email from a CentOS/RHEL/Debian/Fedora command > line client.
