<div><br></div><div>Xymon will probably execute the binary /usr/bin/mail. What is /usr/bin/mail? Is it mailx or mutt or something else? On RedHat/Fedora/Centos/SUSE you can type "rpm -qi -f /usr/bin/mail" to find out. On Debian-based systems, try "dpkg -S /usr/bin/mail" to get the package name, and "dpkg -s <pkgname>" to get the details. From the error message you gave, I suspect it is mailx.</div>
