'mail' should work fine. Postfix supports the sendmail commandline interface, so you can even use that if you want.

For me it is /usr/sbin/sendmail here. I made a symlink in /usr/bin to /usr/sbin/ though.
klamath: thanks for sugguesting Postfix http://forums.justlinux.com/images/i.../2000/10/1.gif
hmmmm.... cause i tried that, and it hung there for about 1/2 an hour for before i came back, and nothing had happened.
it's on a default mandrake install if that helps.
i'm using Mandrake 7.1
i just use
"mail alex-stylee@home.com"
and then it asks for the subject....then the body...then Ctrl + D
and that always works.
Alex
mail forrestina@geekjuice.com
works. and then it asks me for the subject, and the body, and then cc.
however....
mail -s mysubjecthere forrestina@geekjuice.com
just sits there for a reeeeeeealy long time. and never sends any mail. whats up with that?
when you type the below command in CLI
nothing is happening because you need to enter the body of the message
then send the message
mail -s mysubjecthere forrestina@geekjuice.com
so, mail -s mysubjecthere forrestina@geekjuice.com
would become
%mail -s mysubjecthere forrestina@geekjuice.com
your message goes here
.
the DOT is the EOT it tells sendmail you're done with the message:o
