I am trying to use mailx command but due to firewall it's not working. I tried using mailx on terminal but its giving warnings, as follow:
send-mail: warning: inet_protocols: IPv6 support is disabled: Address family not supported by protocol
send-mail: warning: inet_protocols: configuring for IPv4 support only
postdrop: warning: inet_protocols: IPv6 support is disabled: Address family not supported by protocol
postdrop: warning: inet_protocols: configuring for IPv4 support only

Not necessary that it is the firewall. Did you configure the mailserver on your server to send mails to server the other mailserver? What mailserver did you install? sendmail? postfix? The warning you get is because you do not have IPv6. Look for a parameter like inet_protocols and set it to ipv4 instead of all.
