Mailx

By default, {{code|mailx will use a local MTA (usually sendmail) to transfer emails. If the machine you're using doesn't have sendmail, {{code|mailx will fail to send the email.

This can be resolved by specifying a mail server directly, in the case below, the SMTP server:

mail -s "subject" -S smtp=smtp://smtp.home.steamr.com "recipient@home.steamr.com"

You can set the default SMTP server by defining it in {{code|/etc/mail.rc with the following line:

set smtp=smtp://smtp.home.steamr.com
