hi,
Please use a related subject line.
mohan> is there a way by which i can send a mail to somebody like
mohan> *******@yahoo.com by logging into a linux server using the mail
command...
"Linux server" is a generic term. Is the machine connected to the
internet? If yes, does it run a mail server software (like
sendmail/exim)?
mohan> to send mails to other mail ids which come under the other servers... my
way
mohan> of putting up the sentences may not be too technical... so pls cope up...
mail is a mail client. It does not send the mail all by itself. It uses
sendmail to send mails. Hence it will work only with mail server
softwares which have sendmail-compatible interfaces like exim, etc.,
sendmail/exim/postfix-doc will definitely be worth a read.
