mail command
 
Hi!
i have a question

i want to use the mail command to send mails . I type

Code:
$mail -s Test address@gmail.com
Dear, geo

this is a test mail
.

But the mail doesn't send in address@gmail.com

Do you have a mail transport agent (MTA) running? The mail utility requires an MTA. Sendmail is the default MTA on the stock Slackware. To run sendmail at boot-up, enable /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail (chmod +x) and then run the service. You do not need to reboot to run sendmail.
