What MTA (Mail Transport Agent) do you use? If you have none installed and configured, you need to do that first. Once you have a working MTA installed, you can install a command line mail client, like mailx. If this is the route you choose, then you can send mail very easily like this:

Code:

echo "Body of your message" | mailx -s "Subject here" jr@bobdobbs.com
