Hi all!
Yesterday i've been updated a world. After that i can't send any mail from console with mail or nail command.
Every time i trying to execute a command:
mail aa@bb.com < mail.txt

No SMTP support compiled in.
What's wrong?  |

Ah! I'm a dumb! 
I forgot to add "net" parameter to nail package!  |

I've compiled with 'net' support but I get
| Code: | mail -s test mail@address.com
this is the test!
EOT
send-mail: Cannot open mail:25
|
Any ideas?

You don't have a mail server running on port 25.
You can either install an MTA which might be more than you need or configure ssmtp and use mailx which you'll need to install.

You're using the ssmtp package which is trying to connect to a MTA named 'mail'. You'll want to edit the /etc/ssmtp.conf file but I'd suggest installing a real MTA instead. |
