If you have saved your message in a file you can:

Code:

mail -s "subject" user@domain.com < message

tanks to all
Meanwhile i found another one solution:
sendmail user@domain.com < mail_file
bye

This is a bit of a shameless plug but you can read this article on sending mails from the command line:
