mail

[imported_RedHat]

It seemed like in the past (using RH eight), the command-line mail program delivered mail locally just fine. Now I noticed I never get my mail. For example if I do:

mail -s test user
blah blah
^D

It never gets to that user. Also it can't send to external address either (evolution works fine, just command line). What could be the problem?

remember this big & ugly thread - is it like this?

LOL yeah and it's happening again. I shouldn't have to fool with sendmail though. Should "out of the box" be able to send mail from the command line. Ya know, I'm not positive, but I *think* it happened when I upgraded from RH eight to nine. I'll try to do what I did before and see if that works.

Got it working....Had to change a thing or two in /etc/hosts.
