Send mail from command line?

Question

How I can send a simple mail from Ubuntu command line without giving the password for the email account which I'm sending to?

Answer 1

sudo apt-get install mailutils
mail -s "Subject" email@email.com

Press enter and write the subject of your email. Use Ctrl+D to continue.

You will be asked if you want to mark a copy of the mail to any other address - you can skip that with Ctrl+D.

The email will now be sent to your chosen address.

Answer 2

echo "Mail text" | mail -s "Subject" your@mail.com
