Using SCO Shell Mail

Sending mail to other computers

Many computer systems are connected through networks. Networking may be achieved through network cables, telephone lines, and satellite links. If your SCO OpenServer system is part of a network, you can send mail to users on other UNIX systems on the network.

Because there are a large number of possible destinations, and because logins are not unique, it is necessary to send mail using an ``address'' which specifies not only the recipient's name but the organization, department, and even a specific machine to which it is to be sent. (This is equivalent to a postal address.)

For full details of addressing conventions, see ``Addressing mail to users on other systems''.
