Try mail command
Code:
mail -s "Subject" root <<EOF
This is my message
EOF
On many systems root mail are forwared to some other account. Following will tell you exact account or email id
Code:
grep ^root /etc/aliases
root: admin@staff.somewhere.com

Person who should get root's mail is admin@staff.somewhere.com
