I have tried the following:

mailx -s "test" abc@xyz.com

which says bash no command found.

also have tried : Mail -s "test" abc@xyz.com

which says /usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory

even though the file name is valid

For basic sending, just try echo "Body Text" | mutt -a <file> -s "test" abc@xyz.com.

Now, as Sleske mentioned, you might need to modify /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to configure this differently. But if you're just wanting to send, and not receive, E-Mails locally, and you've already got an MX record for xyz.com, I think you should be all set.

Also, given your 'command not found' issues, double check you have MTAs installed. use rpm -q sendmail or rpm -q mutt, and see if you find any packages.

You first need to set up a local mail server, and configure it to send mails (usually by passing them on to your ISP's relaying mail server).

See e.g. How do I set up a basic mail server for the first time?
