Sending a simple mail from command line
Hi,
How would one send an email from the command line. Just a simple email. I used mailx -s "test"
address@server.domain then hit enter.
Nothing happens then, I hit Ctrl + C twice, then I can start a new command again.
Any help? Tips? I did read up on this, but the examples is much more complicated than what I would like to do.
PS: I can't seem to post in the sub forums.

NAME
reporter-mailx - Sends contents of a problem directory via email.
SYNOPSIS
reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE]
DESCRIPTION
The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified
recipient.
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

in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf:

to run the tool on the post-create event:
EVENT=post-create reporter-mailx
OPTIONS
-d DIR
Path to problem directory.
-c CONFFILE
Path to configuration file. When used in ABRT event system, the file contains site-wide configuration. Users can change the values via
