Hello,
I don't know for sure if it's possible to configure mail/mailx to use an external SMTP server.
You can use nail instead.
ls -all /usr/bin/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 1 1996 /usr/bin/mail -> nail*
man nail
smtp Normally, nail invokes sendmail(8) directly to transfer messages. If the smtp variable is set, a SMTP connection to the server specified by the value of this variable is used instead. If the SMTP server does not use the stan-dard port, a value of server:port can be given, with port as a name or as a number.
cat ~/.mailrc set smtp=mail.example.com
bye.

I'm trying to configure either mail or mailx to use an external smtp server (using sendmail locally is not an option).
