echo "body"  | mutt -s "subject"  [email protected] -y

However when I do so, I don't get any email sent to me.

Similarly I also tried mailx which was suggested in another answer to the same question:

mailx -s "subjec_of_mail" [email protected] < file_name

This also didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I assume you have edited your mailrc and set your smtp server accordingly? – alex01011 Nov 22 '20 at 01:42
No, I don't know how to do that. – Mathew Nov 23 '20 at 03:35
