Do you mean something like this:

echo "this is a test." | mail -s "test" user@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto: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)

If you are a home user connecting thru a typical ISP, then you must
configure exim as a smarthost. "dpkg-reconfigure exim4" should
point you in the right direction.

I believe that's 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config'
