I don't believe Fedora installs and configure an MTA listening on port 25 by default, so mailx deliver mail via the 'sendmail' executable.

I should have mentioned that access to localhost works correctly on a similarly-configured system.

Do you have a smtp server running? What does "lsof -i tcp:25" show?

root@webster[7]->lsof -i tcp:25 root@webster[8]->
Source of the problem? A service needs restarting? Which service?
Thanks.

That depends on what mail server you have installed. e.g. sendmail or postfix. But you will also need to configure it.
From your original email, are you sure you want to be sending it through localhost? Don't you have a mail server already that you could send through? What does your email client use?

Hmmm .... two systems. Both use claws-mail. I used mailx as a simple (I thought) way of describing the problem. So let's scratch my "simplification" and restate the problem.
I have two systems, both with up-to-date Fedora 32, both running claws-mail. Both access the smtp server on hughes.net using port 465. The 'working' systems logs in and transmits the emailwithout any problem. The non-working system hangs on the connection until it times out.
Update: Turns out that the SSL certificate was missing. Why, I have no idea. My guess it that hughes (email provider) started requiring it without telling anybody. Sigh!
