Sorry to tell you this now but there is a much easier way, just install 
ssmtp and then make sure the line in ssmtp.conf which defines your mail 
server points to which ever mail server you want to use. Simple as that. 
You can then mailx all you like.

If you have a decent distro like Gentoo this is the default, very 
simple. I use mailx and it works very simply, no fuss.
