Hi,
There's no "magic" command to know what mail server is a machine using... that depends on your software... if you're running sendmail, check /etc/sendmail.cf and see what's in front of the DS ( relay host ) setting...
Must be something like this...
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DShere_your_mailhost
But keep in mind that there're other ways to define a "mailhost", and different mail server software...
Good luck !

PUSH(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PUSH(8)
NAME
push -- fetch mail via POP
SYNOPSIS
push [-5 | --krb5] [-v | --verbose] [-f | --fork] [-l | --leave] [--from] [-c | --count] [--headers=headers] [-p port-spec |
--port=port-spec] po-box filename
DESCRIPTION
push retrieves mail from the post office box po-box, and stores the mail in mbox format in filename. The po-box can have any of the follow-
ing formats:
'hostname:username'
'po:hostname:username'
'username@hostname'
'po:username@hostname'
'hostname'
'po:username'
If no username is specified, push assumes that it's the same as on the local machine; hostname defaults to the value of the MAILHOST environ-
ment variable.
Supported options:
-5, --krb5
use Kerberos 5 (if compiled with support for Kerberos 5)
-f, --fork
fork before starting to delete messages
-l, --leave
don't delete fetched mail
--from behave like from.
-c, --count
first print how many messages and bytes there are.
--headers=headers
a list of comma-separated headers that should get printed.
-p port-spec, --port=port-spec
use this port instead of the default 'kpop' or '1109'.
The default is to first try Kerberos 5 authentication and then, if that fails, Kerberos 4.
ENVIRONMENT
MAILHOST
points to the post office, if no other hostname is specified.
EXAMPLES
$ push cornfield:roosta ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box
tries to fetch mail for the user roosta from the post office at ``cornfield'', and stores the mail in ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box (you are using
Gnus, aren't you?)
$ push --from -5 havregryn
tries to fetch From: lines for current user at post office ``havregryn'' using Kerberos 5.
SEE ALSO
from(1), pfrom(1), movemail(8), popper(8)
HISTORY
push was written while waiting for movemail to finish getting the mail.
