Sending Mail in OS X Terminal
Hi All! I would like your assistance with an issue that I have been having with OS X (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and sending mail through the Terminal.

I had been trying to send mail from Terminal to my GMail account from my home, where I have a Verizon DSL Internet connection routed through a Linksys WRT610n router. I had not been successful doing this. However, when I went to New York University to take a class, I connected through the school Wi-Fi network, and was successful in sending two mail messages to my GMail account. When I tried to send a third message, though, I was not successful, the message did not go through to my GMail account. I am perplexed as to why the mail goes through on some occasions, but not others. Is this common with all *nix systems or only OS X? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!! Thank you so much Smilie
