You need a local mail server. Choices usually are postfix, exim, 
sendmail or qmail (I suggest postfix) - they are usually the top 4 open 
source ones.


Does email work from command line?

echo 'test' | mail -s 'test' [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sendmail  8.13.8-2.el5 is installed on the new server and the old server 
(sendmail-8.13.8-1.fc5).
echo 'test' | mail -s 'test' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The above line sends on email on the old server but not the new server.

Is sendmail running (ps -ef | grep sendmail)?

Anything in /var/log/mail.log or where-ever sendmail puts it's logs?

It could also be set to queue only and send everything in one bunch 
instead of as it gets emails. I don't know sendmail to tell you how to 
check that.
