[TriLUG] How can I send mail without a client ?

[Ryan Leathers]

I would like to send emails based on events in logs and so on.
I have no trouble selecting events in an automated way.
I bet I can also format text to conform to some convention.

This needs to be unattended - automatic - magic.
What is a simple way to send this email without writing code?
What do non-programmers use to solve this kind of thing?
Telnet to port 25 of some mail server?
