Hi:
I can read my ISP's email using mozilla (POP mail account), I can read my local email using 'mail' (with exim being the mta). But I cannot send emial from my local mail account to the rest of the world or to my ISP's email address. How can I do that?
For me, it "just works." You need to do a little exploration and find messages that show what's wrong. Log files in /var/log are good places to look.
In addition, how can I send emial via a script? That is to set up a cron job to send an email locally or to someone on the internet (using my ISP email account since I don't have a valid DNS name). I tried 'mail' but could not get a message to be sent with a single command line.
Attend to the first part first. Then the mail command should work much like this:
ls -lR | mail -s "I have these files" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You should be able to use the sendmail directly if the mail command as above is unsatisfactory. Once you have the first problem sorted out.
I have read that fetchmail can retrieve POP mail, but I could not find a program that does the opposite without being interactive.
If you want a cheap domain name, go see www.dyndns.org and get one of their free subdomains.
