I installed sendmail using this tutorial:



Install sendmail debian gnu linux



I am using this command to send my test email:



mail -s "Subject" "xxxxxxxx@outlook.com" <<< "This is the body"

    Try with a -v flag added to mail, it tend to give much more useful info for you and anyone trying to assist... The destination server might also be sending the mail directly to spam... (This can be reduced with black magic, reverse DNS matching forward DNS and other types of config changes...)
