Hi All,
I'm unable to send out email using mailx command in a new server. I guess the server has to be configured for this. I searched a lot and everywhere it was asked to check /etc/sendmail.cf (I don't have this file in that path.)
And I don't have a folder called host or hosts in /etc folder. What should be my next step? How to make my server send emails?
Also,
The output of the command:
echo test | mail -v someone@server.com is
mail: illegal option -- v
mail: Usage: [-ehpPqr] [-f file] [-x debuglevel]
or [-tw] [-m message_type] [-T file] [-x debuglevel] persons
or [-x debuglevel]
What does this mean?
Thanks in advance.

>>mail: illegal option -- v <<
means that there is no option -v ..

Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables. Configuration file Configuration file contains entries in a format "Option = Value". The options are: Subject The subject of the email message. EmailFrom The sender of the email message. EmailTo The recipient of the email message. SendBinaryData Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large. Integration with ABRT events reporter-mailx can be used as a reporter, to allow users report problems via email when they decide to do it. This usage is pre-configured in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf: EVENT=report_Mailx reporter-mailx It can also be used to notify administrator automatically when a problem happens. When this is desired, modify the event configuration file to run the tool on the post-create event: EVENT=post-create reporter-mailx OPTIONS

Mailx_EmailTo Recipient of the email message. If nor the environment variable nor the corresponding option is defined, the message is send to "root@localhost".
