Use the below command to send mail from a Linux server to a user email-id:
# echo "this is the body of the email" | mailx -s "test mail" -r "From" -S smtp="your-smtp" xyz@domain123.com
-s = Specifies the subject.
-r = Email sent from.

# mailx -vvv -s "email subject" external-email-address
<Body of the email>
Ctrl D to deliver the message
