Good Day, I'm still new in Linux CLI and I'm using RHEL 6. I'm executing command for sending email via terminal.

$ cat log.txt | mail -s "Logs" [email protected]

Hosted by outlook365

When I try this command, nothing happens. No errors but nothing happens.

Any tips?

Thank you.

  • command is correct, you should check logs for errors Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 4:58

    Usually no, but may be you mail is blocked by external server (that's why logs needed), also you can setup external server for this - check unix.stackexchange.com/questions/36982/… Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 5:31

Check the /var/log/maillog to see the logs related to the email being sent. Are the logs logging any errors?
