Now I need to stop my sendmail and want to use one
common smtp server. How to specify smtp server in the
mail command? ( I couldn't get from any source)
You can't do that. /bin/mail just calls /path/to/sendmail on Unix
systems - the actual processing of the mail is done by sendmail.
You could try some other options - like Nail
(
http://nail.sourceforge.net) which offers a /bin/mail -like interface
for backward compatibility and implements an SMTP client.
