Hello,
I have several remote systems and would like them to automatically email me with
problems. The system is on a larger network with an email server already in place.
Do I need to run sendmail on my machine to initiate the email? or can I configure
mailx to pass along the generated text file?
Thank You,
Kevin Hammond

I don’t know about mailx, but you can use Perl to talk to a POP server:
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=POP3Client
This should work without sendmail. (Of course, I’m assuming you can load perl on your systems.)

basicaly pop protocols (pop2/pop3) were designed to get mail from server but
not to send it.
cut from rfc1725:
The Post Office Protocol - Version 3 (POP3) is intended to permit a
workstation to dynamically access a maildrop on a server host in a useful
fashion. Usually, this means that the POP3 is used to allow a workstation
to retrieve mail that the server is holding for it.
guess pete needs smtp client service.

There are of course several perl modules for sending mail via SMTP
as well. I’ve used Mail::Sendmail, and have been pretty happy with
it.
