Hello,
I am trying to send a simple email to my address with no success. I
logged in via ssh and typed:
echo "This is a test." | mail -s "Test subject" t...@gmx.de
It didn't give an error message, but no email was received.
I have searched the net but there's so many tools associated to it
(mutt, exim, sendmail, ...) that I am totally confused. I only need to
send mails from commandline, no inbox needed.
Assuming you have a default configuration then you probably have exim.
Type the following:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
and answer the questions. By default, IIRC, exim is configured not to
send any e-mail outwards.
You probably want the "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail" option,
then tell it the name of the mail server which will accept and forward
your outgoing mail.
