[TriLUG] automated mail via cron

[Jon Carnes]

Try this from command line:
  echo "hello" |mail -s "Test Message" wingedlizard at nc.rr.com

See if it appears in your normal mail.  If so, you're done.

Most distro's setup your server/workstation to be able to drop off
normal mail. As long as DNS is available to the box, mail normally
works.

Good Luck - sorry for the late reply (I'm working too hard...)
