Mail sent, using mail or sendmail, not showing up
by OtagoHarbour from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50BF2)
I running two "16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus)" servers through AWS EC2. the commands, mail and send mail have stopped working since January.
Code:echo "Mail test" | mail -s "Subject" otagoharbour@gmail.comruns without error but no mail shows up. Same when I use yahoo instead of gmail. I tried
Code:sudo apt-get install -y mailutilsIt ran without error but
Code:echo "Mail test" | mail -s "Subject" otagoharbour@gmail.comstill did not result in any mail arriving in my mail box.
