The workstation has mailutils installed. Running 'mailq' (from mail-mta/nullmailer) shows there's a few stuck mails. Looks like i need to configure /etc/nullmailer/remotes and enable the nullmailer service if i want to get that working. On my server /usr/bin/mail is from mail-client/mailx and mailq is from postfix, and this works because its my internet connected email server. <[email protected]>
