Postfix - "mail command not found"


Hi,

I think my postfix installation is successful, coz' when I run it:
#rcpostfix start
Starting mail sevice (Postfix) done

But when I try to send out a test mail:
#mail test
bash - mail command not found

Incidently I ran:
#whereis mail
mail: etc/mail

I can't find this mail command. What do I need to install for this?

I may be mistaken, but isn't this also the default location for sendmail.
I uninstalled sendmail coz' YaST complained about a conflict with postfix.

How do I resolve this?

Sys specs:
--------------
SUSE Pro 9.1
postfix 2.0.9
cyrus-imapd 2.2.3
cyrus-sasl 2.1.18

Postfix will install it's own version of a sendmail binary..

Do which -a sendmail to find it (actually all copies within the PATH variable)
and make a link to it if you want to call it "mail"

The "mail" command is not part of the sendmail or postfix source. Since I know nothing about the SUSE distro (like is it rpm based), then I can't offer much more help other than to say you will need to download/install the "mail" command separately. If SUSE is RPM based, then the mail command is part off the "mailx" rpm.
