How do I add a signature in a mail that is sent through mail command of UNIX ?
I tried it by saving text in .signature and in .sig files but that didn't work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to man mail, mailx will insert content of ${MAILX_TAIL} at the end of outgoing mail.
Have you tried it ?
MAILX_TAIL="J. Smith. \njsmith@example.com\ntel:1234\n"
export MAILX_TAIL

I tried it but doesn't work. @Archemar And the thing is I am accessing the UNIX server remotely. Will that matter ? – learner1 – 2016-03-09T09:52:38.373
Which 'mail' command do you have? bsd-mailx? Heirloom mailx? s-nail? Yes,
.signatureshould be the default, but maybe your system has custom configuration? – user1686 – 2016-03-09T08:58:22.383I just used
mailcommand to send a mail. I do not know which 'mail' command I am using. I am a beginner. Could you please let me know how to check what is that 'mail' command I am using ? @grawity – learner1 – 2016-03-09T09:49:49.357
