Installing sendmail on CentOS and sending emails from the console
Install sendmail
[[email protected]]# yum install sendmail sendmail-cf -y
Add the service to startup
[[email protected]]# chkconfig --level 345 sendmail on
We start the service
[[email protected]]# service sendmail startStarting sendmail: [ OK ]Starting sm-client: [ OK ]
Testing (insert your e-mail instead of [email protected]):
[[email protected]]# echo "Test body" | mail -s "Test subject" [email protected]
The letter will probably end up in the SPAM folder.
