Hello, What should I do if there's no /bin/mail? # /bin/mail -bash: /bin/mail: No such file or directory the only 'mail' I found is /usr/local/cpanel/bin/admin/Cpanel/mail, but it does not answer either on --help or just attempt to start from shell. WHM 58.0 (build 31) Please advise.

  Hello, Are you accessing the command line as the "root" user? If so, what's the output when you run the "whereis mail" command? It's located at /usr/bin/mail on a test system running CentOS 7. Thank you.

  You can try manually installing the package with a command such as:
  yum install mailx
  Thank you.
