Hi all,
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?
Does your machine have a valid domain name? Most places will reject mail if the From: address can't be resolved, and the mail program will use the user running the command and the host name to construct this address. Look in /var/log/maillog to see if that is the problem.
