A simple e-mail script

[EdRev]

I've searched for e-mail keyword and the FAQ for a simple e-mail script and found this script that will do it for me:

at the command line I typed:

mailx -s "File Transferred" myname@mycompany.com < sometext.txt

This is to test sending an e-mail to my e-mail address (Lotus Notes server). I did not get the e-mail.

I went to /var/mail and the e-mail was sent successfully.

What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

have a look at the sendmail man page.

You should set the SMTP server in sendmail or your mailserver (the host who is sending the mail). As pete91z state, read the sendmail man page.
