Hello,
I implemented a proposal indicated here http://askubuntu.com/questions/17988...-is-successful
The mails seems not to go out/in.. (error in mail.log).
It seems I need to install a mailserver; I dont know how...
In order to make following running...
...
sender="sender-address@yahoo.de"
recepient="notify-address@hotmail.com"
...
I would like to implement this on one "raspberry PI" (raspbian) which is connected continously with the internnet.
Any advice is welcome.
As noted in the link you posted you'd have to install a package like "sendmail". Another popular one is "postfix". The "mailx" command is just a front end that sends mail using the installed mailer. "mailx" isn't required (but makes life easier) but a mailer like sendmail or postfix is required.
A program for sending mail that is very easy to configure is msmtp.
I use fetchmail to get mail, procmail and formail to process it, mutt to read it, and msmtp to send it, based on this Gentoo tutorial (leaning how to use a command line mail client was my summer Linux project):
