Hi all,

I am a longtime Linux and HPUX user (I remember when HPUX 8 and Linux kernel 1.0 came out.) I have historically used the embedded functions within HPUX (mailx) to send mail automatically via command line and am not sure how to do this in qmail. I Am finally retiring my old HPUX mail server and trying to get with the times :wink:

So my question is...

If I use mailx to send mail to foo@bar.com using:

echo "test message"|mailx -s "this is a subject" foo@bar.com

How do I do this in qmail?

Thanks of course in advance for the leg up.

Regards,
P-man

One added note. All I am doing is forwarding email to my ISP's mail server. I am looking where to put in that mail servers IP also. I Am trying to get to the wiki on qmail but it seems to be not responding.

emerge mailx

mailx will call the sendmail workalike wrapper that qmail installs and wmail will delivery it like any other mail.
