unable to send mail
hi,

I have tried this code to send mail.Its not giving me error but I am not receiving mail also.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

echo  "The first mail"  >msg

cnt=`cat /dir1/msg | wc -l`

if [ $cnt -ne '0' ]
  then
      mail -s "Hello" abc.xyz@domain.com < msg
fi

I have also tried with the command
Code:
mailx -s "hello" abc.xyz@domain.com

even this is not working.

Do any one have any idea

Thanks

conflict

CONFLICT(8)                                                          [nmh-1.5]                                                         CONFLICT(8)

NAME

       conflict - search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/conflict [-search directory] [-mail name] [-version] [-help] [aliasfiles ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between nmh and the transport system is in good shape

       Conflict also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to a valid user.  It assumes that no user name will start with `.', and
       thus ignores files in /var/mail which begin with `.'.  It also checks for entries in the group(5) file which do not belong to a valid user,
       and for users who do not have a valid group number.  In addition duplicate users and groups are noted.

       If  the  -mail  name  switch is used, then the results will be sent to the specified name.  Otherwise, the results are sent to the standard
       output.

       The -search directory switch can be used to search directories other than /var/mail and to report  anomalies  in  those  directories.   The
       -search directory switch can appear more than one time in an invocation to conflict.

       Conflict should be run under cron(8), or whenever system accounting takes place.

FILES

       /etc/nmh/mts.conf          nmh mts configuration file
