Hi Dan,
Check the configuration of the email server on the machine on which you
are working. It might be not configured or it might be misconfigured. In
this case, it will be happy to accept your email sent using "mail" but
wont know what to do with it and wont even be able to tell you.
Start by looking at /var/log/maillog (for Sendmail installations) or
/var/log/mail.log (commonly used in Postfix installations).

Subject: sending mail from the command line
I am trying this from a Linux machine which is connected to the
internet via PPPoE ( for the test, no firewall):
mail -s "test" danshi...@gmail.com < /dev/null
and also this
mail -s "test" danshi...@gmail.com
enter
add some text
enter
ctrl-d
I don't get any mail in danshi...@gmail.com.
What is wrong here ? what should I do in order to send successfully an
e-mail from the command line with "mail" ?
DS
