Having had a quick look at mutt and mailx, I am not sure whether they will do
what I want - which is to be able to send an email from a bash file to the
mail server on the local network. Looking at mailx and mutt I can do this,
mailx -s <subject> -r

I assume that the MUA in question then sends (via SMTP) the email to localhost:146 where the MTA awaits (postfix) and then if mail is not local to this machine, it is forwarded on to the next specified server along the line. Is this anywhere close to what actually happens? No
These MUAs do not send mail anywhere. Your MTA, whether it be qmail, postfix, or sendmail send mail. How you have configured these MTAs determines whether mail is sent locally or on the WAN. Mail does not get forwarded from one server to another along the line... It goes directly where the email address says it should go, and this is determined by DNS and the MX records of the domain. Locally, on the LAN, if you not use DNS, you can set your LAN addresses in /etc/hosts. -- Gary

Thanks in advance, Al YaST2 --> Install and Remove Software --> Search on mail and you get for example Mutt and Pine, I didn't see Elm there but that's also an alternative. Then you have the mail utility (see: man mail).

Have a look at nail, not included by suse. http://omnibus.ruf.uni-freiburg.de/~gritter/ "Nail is derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1 and is intended provide the functionality of the POSIX.2 mailx command with additional support for MIME messages, POP3 and SMTP." Perfect for scripts, command line is very complete: attach, From, To, cc, etc. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

In SuSE 8.2 you will find mailx is actually nail. if you do a man mail you will find it is actually the nail man page. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Surprising :-O Why, I wonder? But it is an old version: cer@nimrodel:~> mailx -V nail 10.3 11/29/02 cer@nimrodel:~> nail -V nail 10.5 4/27/03 -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Strange. Here they are symlinks pointing to /usr/bin/nail -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

Strange. Here they are symlinks pointing to /usr/bin/nail
So it is... But in my case, as I installed it locally in suse 8.1 and later upgraded to 8.2, I have two versions: cer@nimrodel:~> which mailx /usr/bin/mailx cer@nimrodel:~> l /usr/bin/mailx lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2003-07-12 14:27 /usr/bin/mailx -> nail* cer@nimrodel:~> which nail /usr/local/bin/nail I could delete my local version, but as it is newer, I won't, I guess :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
