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?
would not be ssmtp the simples choice for such an enviroment (if the OP
does not want to use fetchmail of course, otherwise it will create a
loop i belive)

it supports address rewriting, tls, smtp auth ... everything that is
needed for a simple envirement

It also does not support local email (like when dpkg sends emails
with release notes).

As does exim4 since a recent upgrade. Just noticed that yesterday and
have not found out why, yet.
