If you installed as root, from an RPM, then you don't
have to anything. Unless the RPM was badly put together.
The user MAY have to logout and login again.

If you just want to send mail from a cgi, just fire off
a command like
mail -s 'some subject' [EMAIL PROTECTED] < file-with-message-text
from the system function or equivalent of your cgi language.
(What are using anyway?)
But be very wary about using cgi variables as part of the command.
ie. don't
If you're a complete n00b, have a read of one of the many
cgi and html howtos on the net.
