As simple as it can be, your "mailx" approach needs SMTP-AUTH support or
your mailserver needs to allow your actual ip as a relayhost without
smtp-auth. If you have trouble adding smtp-auth to mailx, you could
revert to an old form of authentication: pop-before-smtp, but honestly,
use a better mailclient if mailx can't support smtp-auth.
