Is there any way to send an email from the command line without having an
email server?

Does the BSD mail command work with this?  Basically, I'm running a firewall
in which I want to use "logcheck" to email me the logs, but I don't want the
firewall to be funning an email server.

Any suggestions?

Thx,
Joe

Have you considered just using a terminal based email client and
automating the process via a script to send the logs?  Have never
done this, so I don't know if it would work.

You really haven't given enough info about how you're set up to give
anything more specific.
