how to configure mail command to use a specific mail server?

[Eugene Jansen van Rensburg]

Hi there,

I use "sendEmail" for exactly this. It is absolutely brilliant. I don't
think the mail command will be of great use.

Find it here, its a single perl script that you can copy to your /bin/.
directory for easy access.

Hope it helps!
