Operate on the user's mailbox. To send an email the message body is built from stdin. More information: https://manned.org/mail.

  • Send an email that contains file content:

mail --subject "{{$HOSTNAME filename.txt}}" {{to_user@example.com}} < {{path/to/filename.txt}}

  • Send a tar.gz file as an attachment:

tar cvzf - {{path/to/directory1 path/to/directory2}} | uuencode {{data.tar.gz}} | mail --subject "{{subject_line}}" {{to_user@example.com}}
