sendmail not working
Hello Experts,
I am trying to execute the following command:
(echo "Subject: test" ; echo "test" ; ) | /usr/sbin/sendmail <my email address>
However, I do not receive any email.
I have tried to add the -v flag.
However, I don't receive any verbose.
The sendmail queue is empty.
How can I start to resolve this?
Thanks!

If you are writing a script to send an email I wouild use the "mail" or "mailx" or "mutt" commands instead of "sendmail". For example:
( echo "test" ; ) | /usr/sbin/mail -s "Subject: test" <my email address>
( echo "test" ; ) | /usr/sbin/mail -s "Subject: test" <my email address>

Thank you. I get the following in the log (have replaced my email address with name@example.com):
ep 28 13:51:14 my-dev sm-mta[28420]: p8S94mTV025475: to=<name@example.com>, ctladdr=<www-data@localhos
What does this mean?
sjm_ee - thanks. I want to use php to send email. However, it doesn't appear to be working as I can't get sendmail to work.
