I want to send an email message to anyone. I tried to send it to my gmail account, but it didn't go.
Yes, abucker, I want to send an email from the terminal application. I should be able to send it to anyone, right? Even someone out on the net, not necessarily at another unix terminal.
The man pages for mail say to just type mail then the email address you want to send it to, then the message, then cntrl-d to send, which I did. This is what I tried:
mail
xxxx@gmail.com(my email address, which is on the gmail server), then return
subject:test, <return>
(then the text here)
then cntrl-d to send.
nothing happens. what am I doing wrong?
