The Debian-supplied mailx works just fine, and I can use Mailutils 'mail'
to read the message sent by mailx. But Mailtuils 'mail' cannot send
anything.
WITHOUT configuration file .mail.rc or /usr/local/etc/mail.rc, when I try
mail to myself at localhost:
Cannot create mailer: Malformed or unsupported mailer URL
cannot send message: Malformed or unsupported mailer URL
Cannot open file /home/chris/dead.letter: No such file or directory
(FWIW, I uninstalled 2.9.96, built Mailutils 2.2 and installed -- SAME
ERROR)
(It doesn't try localhost:25 by default?)
WITH configuration file .mail.rc and /usr/local/etc/mail.rc:
mailer {
url smtp://localhost:25;
}
when I try mail to myself at localhost:
chris@kaikala:~/admin/build$ mail chris
mail: Unknown command: mailer
mail: Unknown command: url
mail: Unknown command: }
mail: Unknown command: mailer
mail: Unknown command: url
mail: Unknown command: }

I spend too much time on this, please help, I have only limited time, would
rather be productive rather than spend hours trying to configure something
so simple as 'mailer URL', but *must* find some mail tools that work. If
not this one, I start over looking at others.
TIA,
Chris
