Problems sending mail: Difference between Mail and Mailx?
Whats the difference between mail and mailx?
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem where I can send mail from server A with this
command but executing the same command from server B throws me this error (Both servers are RHEL)
Now... going through mail manpages to ty to understand whats happening, `man mail` gives me this:
In Server A
But in server B
Now... if I try `man mailx` in server B I get:
Server B has a different version of mail than Server A? Mailx and Mail are different things? I would like to use the -r option I use in server A but in server B and I don't really know whats happening.
