I can only find mailx the client. Apparently, you can make it send mail without a local server, but the norm is to send mail to the local mail server for store and forward, in case the other end is down or the recipient is local. It seems there may be ways to point it to an external mail server: mailx mail server linux - Google Search

Troubleshooting and configuring the local sendmail is a much bigger deal, another big Riley book. Smilie I start with "echo RULESET ADDRESS | sendmail -bt".

Maybe that is not your email server (change D* line or the like in sendmail.cf), or there is a firewall in the way. Try "telnet smtp62.intersmtp.com 25" and see if you can get an SMTP prompt:
Code:
$ telnet xxx.yyy.com 25 
Trying...
