i did that, but my mail still doesn't get sent with 'mail'
it does get delivered when I do:
echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
but I want something like 'mail' to prompt me for subject,
etc.. is there something I'm missing? don't tell me I have
to de echo to: | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject every time I
want to send a message!?
thanks to everybody for the feedback.
