Hello,
I don't know for sure if it's possible to configure mail/mailx to use an
external SMTP server.
You can use nail instead.
ls -all /usr/bin/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 1 1996 /usr/bin/mail ->
nail*
man nail
smtp Normally, nail invokes sendmail(8) directly to transfer messages.
If the smtp variable is set, a SMTP connection to the server specified
by the value of this variable is used instead. If the SMTP server does
not use the stan-dard port, a value of server:port can be given, with
port as a name or as a number.
cat ~/.mailrc
set smtp=mail.example.com
bye.
