but i can not find a working solution .
does anyone know how to set this up or how to email via command line

#man mail

SYNOPSIS
mail [-eIinv] [-a header] [-b bcc-addr] [-c cc-addr] [-s subject] to-addr
[…] [– sendmail-options […]]
mail [-eIiNnv] -f [name]
mail [-eIiNnv] [-u user]

DESCRIPTION
mail is an intelligent mail processing system which has a command syntax
reminiscent of ed(1) with lines replaced by messages.

So in short:
# echo "my mail message to who@somewhere" |mail -a "From: me@here" -a "Reply-To: other-address@there" -s "a massage to who@somewhere from command line" who@somewhere

wouldn’t telnet be easier than writing the whole command specified above?

Ofcause, the easiest would be to just type:
# mail
And then the rest will be a walkthrough with the required "from", "to", "subject" etc beeing asked..
But he specificaly wanted a commandline to mail someone.. It could be in an efford to incorporate it into some sort of script.
Shouldn’t he be informed that theres a way to create it as a single line then ? Or is it more importain to be told theres always the extreeme insecure telnet protocol.. Why not point out ssh when you are trying to bring some form of remote connection tool to teh party… This did start out as a mail executing request, never did it mention remote login possibileties..
