Postfix should come with a program to do this, sendmail:

Of course, that's given you're running it on the same box as the one you set 
up Postfix on.

The man page describes it as a compatibility interface for sendmail but I'm 
not sure if there's an expliticly Postfix way to do this.

What is the replacement?
I just need to send myself an email from the command line to test
postfix.


echo "testing" | mail -s "test mail" the...@sys-concept.com

It's in mail-client/mailx


Thanks Neil, it worked perfectly.

I think "mailto" used to be part of the package net-mail/metamail
But I think is long time gone.

What is the replacement?
I just need to send myself an email from the command line to test postfix.
