Looks like there's a little more required in order to send an e-mail from the command line than just executing the command. To see what it would look like I tried the following: rsteff@moonguide:~$ "This is a test" | mail -s "Testing" [email protected] Null message body; hope that's ok Please install an MTA on this system if you want to use sendmail! Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 255 rsteff@moonguide:~$ What program(s) constitute(s) the MTA (I assume that means Mail Transfer Agent)? And if I install one, will that affect my normal e-mail activity in any way? -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
