Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users how to send email using "mail" to google or yahoo Post 302432402 by a_programmer on Friday 25th of June 2010 02:23:07 AM

you can use the regular mailx command to do that:


Code:
echo "test message" | mailx -s "Test subject" xyz@gmail.com

In some corporate systems, the unix smtp server is configured to not allow emails outside the company domain. Adding a return email address using the -r flag usually fixes that:


Code:
echo "test message" | mailx -r you@yourcompany.com -s "Test subject" xyz@gmail.com
