    Unix mail command - Sending email to outside world.

    Hi All,

    I'm able to send email using Unix's "mail" command to some email ids i.e. my company email id "arun.sangal@companyname.com" but, not able to send that same email id in case I include my personal email id during command execution.

    For ex: on Unix's $ prompt
    Code:
    mail -s "Test email - 1" arun.sangal@companyname.com, sangal.ak04@gmail.com << JholaLinux
This is a test email.
Please don't reply.
Thx.

    Are you using sendmail servers?
    Post the output of following commands.

    Code:
    pgrep sendmail
    And what's your log file /var/log/maillog
    content ?
