help request for sending email from unix to internet
I have a requirement to send email to a group once I have done some tests. I tried the following from command line:-
mailx -s "Test REsults for today "
myname@companyname.com <testresultfile.txt
but the email was not received by anyone
basically I followed the format:
mailx -s "$env(WWW_msub)" $env(WWW_mailto) < /tmp/$fname
is this supposed to work ?., When I entered this command, I did not get any error message. I looked at my email and did not find any email coming to me even after a day.
Can someone please help me to find out what is wrong inthe above statement?., is there any other easy way to send emails.
Thanks in advance.

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
