[eben@pc eben]$ man mail
No manual entry for mail
[eben@pc eben]$ locate bin/mail
/usr/bin/mailq
/usr/bin/mailstat
/usr/bin/mailq.sendmail
/usr/bin/mail-files
/usr/bin/mailshar
/usr/lib/news/bin/mailpost
/usr/sbin/mailstats
What should I look for in the settings?
mailx-8.1.1-26.i386.rpm has /bin/mail ; should I convert, or does a
similar utility exist in sendmail?
