Sending mail directly from a Linux server can often be handy. Here is how I do it
Send mail
cat "Test" | mail -s "Test subject" someone@someplace.com
This will send a mail with the message “Test” and subject line “Test subejct” to email adress: someone@someplace.com
Send attachments
mutt -s "Attachment subject" -a attachment.jpg someone@someplace.com
This will open up your favorite editor so you can create a mail message to your attachment. After you save and exit the editor you just press ‘y’ to send the message with the attachment (you will be inside Mutt then)
