Hi,

I'm not able to send mail thru mail -s utility from Red-Hat RHEL 4.0 server.It is giving the message "Message stored in dead.letter"

Can anyone give any pointers on this.

Regards,
Ranjan.
 
Does your server know how to send mail?

At the least the server needs to know where to forward mail for users not on the same server. Check /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and look for
Code:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmail.relay.host
