Re: [CentOS] how to send mail from console

From: Roland Roland R_O_L_A_N_D@hotmail.com

i'm trying to get a script to send me an email whenever a certain condition takes place.. i'm afraid i dont have experience with mail command nor anything else related to sending emails for that matter..

i googled a bit and tried using mutt and mail ... though i do not recieve any email in my inbox...

the command im using is the following : mail -s “disk space report” R_O_L_A_N_D@hotmail.com

should i setup a default smtp to use? where can i check for the errors that are taking place?

Tried with sendmail service started...? Check /var/log/maillog

An other way: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t <<EOF Subject: ... to: ... Content-type: text/plain

Hello World... EOF
