Hi,

I have kubuntu 8.10 and I would like to configure Ubuntu to can send mail from command line with mailx.
I've saw that I need to install a MTA. But I don't know with install and how.
Do you know some howto or url where I find how could I configure it?

Many thanks and sorry for my english!

mierdatuti,

you can use the synaptic of kubuntu or you can use the apt-get install command.

There are a lot of available MTA at ubuntu. You can use exim / sendmail / postfix to name few.

Try to install it using apt-get install < the MTA you want > then you can use your mailx after that.
