Sending mail from outlook to linux machine

Question

I am not sure if this is feasible. But, using sendmail or mutt or mail command, I am able to send mail from linux machine to a outlook server.

Whether the vice versa case is possible ? If yes how ?

i.e sending mail to a linux machine from outlook

So that user can read the mail locally in his machine.

Update :

Commands I have used,

mail -s "Test Subject" [e-mail] < /dev/null

Or

mutt -s "Test Email" [e-mail] < /dev/null

I have a linux machine from which if I use the mail or mutt command to send email to my official email address, then I am getting the mail with the mailing address as

dinesh@REMOTELAB; # where 'dinesh' - my username & 'REMOTELAB' - hostname

via my outlook.

Now, if I try replying back to the above email, then I am getting the Underliverable email response from the outlook.

What should I do/configure, so that by sending mail to dinesh@REMOTELAB, it could get delivered to my linux machine ?

Answer 1

Yes, but only the same way you'd actually send from a linux machine.

When you are sending mail from a linux machine, it's still going via a mail server, and gets delivered to the recipient.

Why would you think you can't do exactly this in outlook, it's what people do every day.
