If you don't have sendmail (or other smtp agent) running, and configured to be able to properly deliver mail, you may need to figure out how to do that. Or, if your only need for sending mail on that particular computer is for this single purpose, you may find it easiest to try the package "SendEmail", a smtp sender written in perl, which requires no configuration and can be controlled entirely from the commandline. You can find it at: http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/ I'm using it as a reporting tool for an unattended app I've written, and it works great.
