Sending mail from shell script

I'm finding that a call to the mail command is causing a script to suspend without error. To close the script I have to ctrl-c or issue a kill command on the process id.

Hello Unix lovers,

I want to know if I can have mailx on linux. I am using redhat 6.

My sys admin says that mailx is not availble on linux. I see on my linux system mailx is just a link to /bin/Mail program.

I want to install mailx just as it is availble on soaris/HP.

Hello,

I want to send an email from unix. I tried following commands:

Code: mailx -s "hello" manish.xxx@xxx.com < echo_manish and

Code: echo "Testing Mail" | mailx -s "hello" manish.xxx@xxx.com but in both the commands nothing is happening. I mean it is neither giving any error nor I am receiving email.

Please help.

I recently installed 11.2. I first noticed that cron was not sending mail. I then found that I could not send mail with mailx. Postfix is running and handling external email perfectly. Nothing ever appears under /var/spool/mail. Mail sent by mailx just seems to disappear - no errors are reported. I never had this problem over many years using earlier versions of Suse
