I want to send mail with a bash script.
I look on the internet what I have to do.
I installed exim4 and mailutils.
than I do sudo echo "Yay - SMTP works" | mail -s "Test email" mail-address"
but the mail wasn't sent.
I find this sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
but I don't know what I must fill in this.
I find also netstat -ano |grep :25 and
the output is
Code:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN off (0.00/0/0)
tcp6 0 0 ::1:25 :::* LISTEN off (0.00/0/0)
If someone know what I must do for to have this working
thanks anyway

In the meantime you might be interested in a little introduction about how the mail system works in general i wrote a few days ago.

I have just had to fix a debian5 system which suddenly started rejecting correctly addressed emails as '550 relay not permitted.' It turned out that rogue exim4 config files had been injected into the system at /etc/exim4/exim4.conf and /etc/exim4/exim.conf and these were messing up mail routing.

I have restarted the exim4 process.
It prints the following things.
