By /

This guide helps you verify that email is sending correctly from your server via command line. It also includes steps to make the test command work for CloudLinux with CageFS.

📨 Send a Simple Test Email

echo "Proof that email is being sent from the server just fine" | mail -s "Proof that email is being sent from the server just fine" email@yourdomain.com

✅ Replace email@yourdomain.com with your actual email address.

🛠️ CloudLinux with CageFS: Add Mail Utility (s-nail)

If you’re using CloudLinux with CageFS, the mail command might not work by default. You’ll need to add the s-nail package to CageFS.

  1. Add s-nail to CageFS:
cagefsctl --addrpm s-nail
  1. Force CageFS to Update for All Users:
cagefsctl --force-update

Once done, the mail command will work correctly inside jailed environments for your users.
