本文簡單整理了一下如何在Linux服務器上安裝、配置SendMail發送郵件的步驟，此文不是配置郵件服務器，具體測試環境為CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) ，如遇特殊平台有所差別，請以實際情況為准則。
Linux 系統版本查看
檢查、了解系統版本信息，主要是如果使用rpm安裝時，需要下載合適的版本。
[root@mylnx06 ~]# more /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
檢查是否安裝sendmail組件
如下所示，該服務器上並沒有安裝sendmail的相關組件。那麼我們直接使用yum安裝sendmail組件即可。
[root@mylnx06 ~]# rpm -qa | grep sendmail
[root@mylnx06 ~]# yum list sendmail
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* epel: ftp.cuhk.edu.hk
Available Packages
sendmail.x86_64 8.14.7-4.el7 base
使用yum安裝sendmail組件，當然你可以使用其它方式安裝，此處不做展開介紹。
[root@mylnx06 ~]# yum install sendmail.x86_64
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* epel: ftp.cuhk.edu.hk

[root@mylnx06 ~]#
編輯/etc/aliases文件
Sendmail有一個非常實用的功能,就是為每個賬號取別名(Aliase) 會使用一個在 /etc/aliases 中的檔案做使用者名稱轉換的動作。 所以這個配置文件是可配也可以不配，具體視你的需求而定。
[root@mylnx06 ~]# vi /etc/aliases
#
# Aliases in this file will NOT be expanded in the header from
# Mail, but WILL be visible over networks or from /bin/mail.
#
# >>>>>>>>>> The program "newaliases" must be run after
# >> NOTE >> this file is updated for any changes to
# >>>>>>>>>> show through to sendmail.
#
# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.

如下截圖所示，如果我配置別名為root的，配置接收郵件（下面郵件僅僅是一個模板而已）
修改配置文件sendmail.cf
修改/etc/mail/sendmail.cf 添加對應的DS, DS後面為郵件服務器的IP地址。根據實際具體情況配置。其實這個配置文件，如果需要，還有蠻多需要配置、細化的地方，此處只講述最簡單的配置。
# host/domain names ending with a token in class P are canonical
CP.
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
# operators that cannot be in local usernames (i.e., network indicators)
CO @ % !
# a class with just dot (for identifying canonical names)

測試郵件服務
如下所示，使用mail命令測試能否成功收到郵件。如果成功，表示前面配置OK， 如果沒有收到郵件，則必須檢查日志，然後根據具體錯誤信息診斷問題。
[root@mylnx06 ~]# cat > test.txt
it is only test
^Z
[1]+ Stopped cat > test.txt
[root@mylnx06 ~]# mail -s "test" [email protected] < test.txt
[root@mylnx06 ~]#
[azrlnx06azlnx06 ~]$ echo 'it is only a test' | mail -s "test eamil" [email protected]
[azrlnx06@azlnx06 ~]$
