Mail Setup on Linux

Hi Guys,

I need to send mail from linux to my outlook email id.
mailx command is not working.

I guess, some configuration is required.
Don't know what exactly needs to be done.

Please help.

Thanks,
Vikas

you need to setup your MTA .... this is a task of sysadmin ... check if you have any mail server running locally (netstat -an | grep 25 ) ...

check if you sendmail via any other SMTP etc ... ask you sysadmin/network admin ..
