    hi experts
    i need to be able to send a text email via the command line from centos 6.5.
    i expect something like
    cat /tmp/log | mailx -s "log file" [email protected]
    to send a email to me ([email protected])
    what do i need to configure?
    how can i test what is going on?
    thanks for the help
    old tony

    Simply install postfix. Start the service for postfix, stop the service if sendmail exists and remove sendmail.
