[SOLVED] How to send mail using sendmail command?

astroboiii · 03-17-2010, 07:14 PM

Hi guys, I have sendmail setup on my server but for some reason the following command does not send me an email: echo "test" | mail -s testsubject xyz@gmail.com

however in my crontab i have MAILTO="anemail@anemail.com" and it that is pumping out emails.

Not sure what I am doing wrong here?

any help is appreciated. I am running this on an AmazonEC2 machine running Fedora Core 8.

Thanks.

Got this working. The mail was going to spam, I did check this before but I guess none of the emails had reached there when I had checked previously. Laugh and move on, thank's
