Send Emails in Sco

I am trying to setup unix to send an email to an outside email address. I have searched the web and found a lot of sites. The problem is I can't figure out what I am supposed to do exactly.

I have tried installing sendmail but I get m4 version errors. I then tried to install m4 which seemed to go ok but I still get the m4 version errors with sendmail.

I configured mmdf to the best of my knowledge and emails get created but they never get sent. I am assuming this is because I haven't given anything an SMTP server to use.

I also tried to install exim but with no luck.

All I want to do is have my Sco Openserver 5.0.6 send a blank email with the subject "Job Ran Successfully" to abc@123.net. Can I use mailx to do this with just a little configuration?

NAME
rt-email-dashboards - Send email dashboards SYNOPSIS
rt-email-dashboards [options] DESCRIPTION
This tool will send users email based on how they have subscribed to dashboards. A dashboard is a set of saved searches, the subscription controls how often that dashboard is sent and how it's displayed. Each subscription has an hour, and possibly day of week or day of month. These are taken to be in the user's timezone if available, UTC otherwise. SETUP
You'll need to have cron run this script every hour. Here's an example crontab entry to do this. 0 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /opt/rt4/local/sbin/rt-email-dashboards This will run the script every hour on the hour. This may need some further tweaking to be run as the correct user. OPTIONS
This tool supports a few options. Most are for debugging. -h --help Display this documentation --dryrun Figure out which dashboards would be sent, but don't actually generate or email any of them --time SECONDS Instead of using the current time to figure out which dashboards should be sent, use SECONDS (usually since midnight Jan 1st, 1970, so 1192216018 would be Oct 12 19:06:58 GMT 2007). --epoch SECONDS Back-compat for --time SECONDS. --all Ignore subscription frequency when considering each dashboard (should only be used with --dryrun for testing and debugging) perl v5.14.2 2013-05-22 rt-email-dashboards(8)
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 05:32 AM.
