Here's perl I use:
use Net::SMTP;
my $to = "someu...@mydomain.com";
my $from = "someb...@somedomain.com";
my $subject = "test message subject";
my $message = "some message body";
#Create a new object with 'new'.
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new("localhost");
$smtp->mail($from);
$smtp->to($to);
#Start the message.
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: $to\n");
$smtp->datasend("From: $from\n");
$smtp->datasend("Subject: $subject\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n"); # done with header
$smtp->datasend($message);
#End the message.
$smtp->dataend();
#Close the connection to your server.
$smtp->quit();
