Send email from unix terminal on Mac OS 10.x
Hello,
I want to send email from unix terminal on Mac OS 10.x. I have 2 user accounts on the system - userOne and root. I tried sending an email from userOne to root by entering "mail root". It prompts to enter Subject and the content. It doesn't give any error message, but root doesn't get any email. In /etc/hostconfig, MAILSERVER=-YES- I also tried sending an email from userOne to a yahoo email address. I got the same result. I am new email server and setting. I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
