I think that mailx is installed as a dependency on a gentoo system (unless = it=20 is seriously stripped down?) Just run mail in a terminal and it'll tell you if there is any messages=20 waiting for you. To send (outside your OS) you'll need to install and=20 configure ssmtp, or sendmail, or postfix, or any other MTA in portage. For= more=20 info look at man mailx or man mail. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart37711200.YhtUM3Vf0T Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk6oZGgACgkQVTDTR3kpaLbX9ACg2jK5lWY6iIKj0QWpcpCr7h1r HowAnRYAtnfUZde6Vgxc4+qlZTbU7rDO =Q1KC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart37711200.YhtUM3Vf0T--
