My primary objective is to have my system mail the log file, that a script creates, to an external email id - ricc@yahoo.com.

I already have a campus-wide email id ( ricc@mydomain.net ) in my campus email server.

What I want is, to be able to send this log file as mail to ricc@yahoo.com from my account ricc@mydomain.net.

I am not sure if I have been able to make you all understand what I want.

But if you have not understood what is my objective, I would like to say that I want to know how to use simple email from the command line. That means...I would like to use my email account in the email server to send a file from my local system ( mainly from the command line ).

I dont want to use something like root@mypc.mydomain.net to send messages ( which unfortunately, I have not been able to do so also)
