Executing command for sendmail not working

Question

Good Day, I'm still new in Linux CLI and I'm using RHEL 6. I'm executing command for sending email via terminal.

$ cat log.txt | mail -s "Logs" myemail@e.mail.com

Hosted by outlook365

When I try this command, nothing happens. No errors but nothing happens.

Any tips?

Thank you.

Usually no, but may be you mail is blocked by external server (that's why logs needed), also you can setup external server for this - check http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/36982/can-i-set-up-system-mail-to-use-an-external-smtp-server — Lev Bystritskiy, Mar 15 '16 at 05:31

Check the /var/log/maillog to see the logs related to the email being sent. Are the logs logging any errors?
