how to send out email in Redhat server

[asianadmin]

Hi Experts,

I'm very new to redhat or linux in general. I want to send out email to notify everytime my backup is completed. I tried to use "mail -r" but it said "invalid option". Can someone help me? What command should I use in this particular situation?

Thanks in advance for your help,

use mutt. the command would be of this sort mutt -f imap xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx

goodluck

oh, i forgot to tell the linux help is sort of this in the command line "man mutt" or "info mutt". use it without the quotes. the man is less detailed help and the info is much detail help.
