Just an example:

Code:

(
 echo "From: admin <admin@hostname>"
 echo "To: Mario Rossi <user@domain>"
 echo "Cc: Luigi Bianchi <user2@domain>"
 echo "Subject: User quota exceeded"
 echo
 $(date +"%A %_d %b %Y %H:%M:%S") - your user quota exceeded"
 $(command to report user quota here)
 echo
 echo Best regards
 echo The system administrator
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail "user@domain"

You can also embed shell variables in the mail body or in the subject.
