If you stick Perl on the machine as well, you can use it to do the job.  Here's
a quote from the Mail::Sendmail module (which, by the by, does not require
Sendmail to be installed):

use Mail::Sendmail;

%mail = ( To      => [log in to unmask],
          From    => [log in to unmask],
          Message => "This is a very short message"
        );

sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;

print "OK. Log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log;

HTH,
Ted

Disclaimer: I've not tried the module, as simply sending mail from Perl calling
sendmail is pretty straightforward.
