If you are asking for a command line way of sending email, check the man page on mail and/or mailx. Something like the following should work:
$ mail -s "test"
someuser@mydomain.com
You will then get a newline (blank) where you can type the message. Put a period on the line by itself to end inputing the email body.

sendmailconfig
SENDMAILCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual SENDMAILCONFIG(8)
NAME
sendmailconfig - configure sendmail for Debian systems
SYNOPSIS
sendmailconfig [--no-reload]
DESCRIPTION
sendmailconfig is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian systems.
In the simplest case, you may run this program to (re)configure sendmail for your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of sendmailconfig will
preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file.
Normally sendmailconfig will ask if you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will
avoid this question.
FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc
sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
actual sendmail configuration file
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
names for which we will accept mail in the standard configuration
/etc/mail/sendmail.ct
names of trusted users in the standard configuration
