| Post subject: | Unable to use mail command on CentOS 7 |
Hello, I seem to be unable to get the mail command to send an email to my personal gmail address working. I'm running a Linode with CentOS 7. Tried debugging from cli but I don't get any error or info that would get me any further. CODE: SELECT ALL ➜ ~ echo "Your message" | mail -s "Message Subject" emailaddress ➜ ~ sudo echo "Your message" | mail -s "Message Subject" emailaddress ➜ ~ echo "Your message" | mailx -s "Message Subject" emailaddress ➜ ~ sudo echo "Your message" | mailx -s "Message Subject" emailaddress CODE: SELECT ALL telnet mail.messaging.microsoft.com 25 Trying 207.46.163.247... Connected to mail.messaging.microsoft.com. So I tried with mail and mailx but nothing is working. /var/log/maillog is empty. Any advice is welcome to get this working. WIllem |

You need a MTA (mail transfer agent), like exim or postfix, then you need to read the documentation for the chosen MTA, whatever it is, as each one has a different way to manipulate or check messages in the queue. mail and mailx are just mail user agents (MUA), you need to know what happens with the MTA itself. |

Thanks Sanvila, Got is working now. My postfix service wasn't started. systemctl start postfix did the trick. Grtz Willem |
