I am using Linux...and when I try to send a mail (mail username) it gives me error:
/usr/sbin/sendmail: no such file or directory


sendmail is not installed on the machine? when I ls /usr/sbin I can see sendmail.sendmail


Any suggestion,

You don't know what distribution you're using? Please tell me you didn't install Linux yourself.

Member Avatar for DimaYasny

many new linuxes come with exim or even postfix these days

Member Avatar for Sturm

So what distro are you using? And in my opinion installing exim and postfix by default seems like the definition of bloat.

Member Avatar for DimaYasny

debian comes with exim now. rh/fedora are still sendmail I think

Member Avatar for jbennet

i know that on redhat/ fedora you can choose eithner sendmail or postfix

Member Avatar for DimaYasny

aaaaaaand postfix is a much better choice, IMO.
