| Post subject: | sending mail through the "mail" command |
Okay, I'm relatively clueless about linux, so please bear with me. I have a linode account. What procedure must I got through in order to enable: Code: echo hello world | mail johnny@dewey.com I also have a few domains at godaddy, would I have to change some MX records etc to my linode host's IP address? It's running ubuntu 9.04 if that changes anything. |

ok well first you should upgrade to ubuntu 10.04, 9.04's support ended in october, see http://library.linode.com/troubleshooti ... 0.04-lucid for instructions Then you need to install a mail server, either http://library.linode.com/email/exim/se ... 0.04-lucid or http://library.linode.com/email/postfix ... 0.04-lucid Then mail will work |

Will sending mail as-is, say, to my gmail account possibly mark my IP as a spammer address though? |

nah, especially if you add a SPF record, you need to add a TXT record for your domains DNS with, here is a good wizard http://old.openspf.org/wizard.html |
