[ok another lame one here...]

On a freshly built linux system...

I want to send email from my system (from the command
line) to outside addresses.
*Without* and internal sendmail server...
I want it to send mail using my ISP's smtp server.

i.e, if I type:

 mail me at mymailaccount.com

it should just send/forward the mail to that address,
simple right?

I don't recall how to set this up.

What file or where do I specify my ISP's smtp server?

I'm not using Pine/Xwindows or anything, just plain
command line mail.





[It's been a while since I used Linux - so I am kinda
green again.]
