Instead, that entry had to be changed to "DSmailhub.concentric.net" in order to get _mail_, working from the _command line_. To be explicit, a mail "session" looks something like the following: %mail freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Hey, Guys! How do you get mail to send the same letter to ten people listed in a file? Thanks. Duke . EOT %The message above is on it's way, and mail has returned me to the command line. Mail has a lot of capability, but I'm going a little nuts trying to figure out how to use some of the more useful features of it. Thanks. (And I will be having a look at that web site, shortly.)
