This is not likely to succeed, as it is not a correct sendmail call.
The mail header is missing and even if the mail is delivered to the
receiving MTA, that receiver is likely to drop it.
Try:
sendmail -t -v
From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: test
test
.
-t takes sender and recipient from the email headers.
-v will cause Postfix to email a mail delivery status report to your
local account, too.
You can also use mail(1) to test sending, without any further
configuration it uses sendmail and constructs a correct mail header.
echo test | mail -v -s subject [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How can I track down the reason the mail isn't arriving?
/var/log/mail*, depending on your syslog configuration.
