Sending e-mail from unix
Hello,

I want to send an email from unix. I tried following commands:

Code:
mailx -s "hello" manish.xxx@xxx.com < echo_manish

and
Code:
echo "Testing Mail" | mailx -s "hello" manish.xxx@xxx.com

but in both the commands nothing is happening. I mean it is neither giving any error nor I am receiving email.

Please help.

Can you run mail command from the machine where you are sending email and check if you have received any mail delivery failure notice?

MAILER-DAEMON for unknown host error is received in my unix mail box.

Auto-Submitted: auto-generated (failure)
(reason: 550 Host unknown)

But I am sending e-mail to my existing e-mail account.

Please help me to resolve this problem.

Are you trying to send an email to an external domain?

Looks like an issue with DNS, have a look at your /etc/resolv.conf file. This file has nameservers & domains.

Yes. I am trying to send e-mail to to an external domain (my office id.)

ls: 0653-341 The file /etc/resolv.conf does not exist.
