Thanks, Per. I was hoping to avoid 3.7 MB of stuff just to send a mail message, plus I'm somewhat intimidated by the postfix man page. Do I just need to set those lines in some file (which file?) and do nothing else, except perhaps have to do some systemd trickery to start the service?
On some older netboot machines I use a program called 'nail' for that. There's no package for it in OS, and I forgot where I found it. Guess it was a Slackware package (that is what runs on there). It's extremely convenient for this kind of things....
Ooops! Googling for it, it seems this is now 'Heirloom mailx', http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html, which is what you actually get with the 'mailx' package in OS :P
All, mailx, nail, s-nail, heirloom-mailx, etc... are various forks of the original Berkeley mail program. (though there are significant differences in the options they support)
mailx adds a lot of options and thus a lot of code.
The one in current development is s-nail, https://www.sdaoden.eu/code.html
