This lab will show you how to set up a Mail User Agent ('''mailxMUA''' ), using the mailx package) on your '''VM2''' machine , to allow users of that VM to locally send and receive e-mails locally on your VM2 machine, and . You will also be able to send a text-based e-mail from your '''VM2 machine''' to your '''Seneca mail account ''' (only to send to an external server, but <u>not </u> receive). You will also learn which Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is allowing messages to be sent locally in within your VM2 machine and also externally to your Seneca College mail account. You In addition, you will also learn where the message store (MS) is located, that stores mail messages until they are viewed and how messages can be saved either deleted or transferred to other folders.

In order to send e-mail messages '''between your different VMs, a more complex set-up is required''', and will be addressed in the second part of lab4(lab4b).
