Hello all,
I have a small problem for which I couldn't find a solution
in the docs / manpages.
I have a script which needs to mail out it's results to a local
user on a Linux (Mandrake 7.2) box. The system didn't have a local
mail delivery agent installed so I installed mailx (version 8.1.1)
from the Mandrake CD. I've read through the not-very-helpful
manpages, and there doesn't seem to be any further configuration
options...
The script uses the following syntax to send the mail :
cat /tmp/foo | /bin/mail -s "test" user@host
When the command is executed, the following error is produced:
"send-mail: fatal: No maildrop directory maildrop: No
such file or directory"
As I understand it, mailx should be able to deliver mail to the
local users without having a MTA like sendmail or qmail. Is there
some configuration option I've missed out on? Or am I missing
something major?
I'd appreciate any help / pointers / whacking with a clue-stick.
Pramod,
