Using /usr/bin/mail to send mail

Hi,

I am trying to use the /usr/bin/mail to send mail, but it appear to stall when i attempt to do so, do i need to configure anything on my box, before i am able to do so?

Best regards
Henry

Henry,
I would recommend using mailx or the underlying sendmail.
Have you got an SMTP connection to send ?
What are your commands and error symptoms ?
