  cat file.text | mail -s "some subject" someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
or
  cat file.text | mail -s "some subject" admin

We do this is cron jobs all the time;
for instance to check CPu temp every 15 minutes;
(all on one line of course)
15 * * * *  cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep temperature | mail -s "CPU
temperatue" admin
