how can i get this with debian ?

Do you mean something like this:

echo "this is a test." | mail -s "test" user@xxxxxxxxxxx

You need to have a mail transfer agent (MTA) configured and running, if
this shall work. The default MTA with Debian is Exim.

Which version of Debian (stable/testing/unstable) are you running? Is
Exim or another MTA (postfix) installed and configured on your system?


i am using unstable. i tried exim. but after long time waiting, it's
give me a dalivery failure notice. then now testing send mail. useing
mail client with send mail. now i can send. but mail command is not
working any more (i removed exim4)

How exactly is it not working? Is it giving an error? Silently
failing? What do you see if you do a `mailq`?
