You could do it via SMTP if nothing else...

(
    echo EHLO example.com
    echo RCPT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    echo MAIL From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    echo DATA
    sed 's/^.$//' < a_file
    echo '.'
) | nc -q10 localhost smtp

Your smtp daemon may mistake you for a spammer; you'll have to debug
that yourself.  Also, I just typed that in; didn't test it.
