I installed Postfix on my system now I want to be able to send mails
via command line in my LAN.
How is that possible I typed a command mail on terminal and got following

The program 'mail' can be found in the following packages:
* heirloom-mailx
* mailutils
Try: apt-get install <selected package>

what exactly should I be doing to be able to send mail via command line.

There's a command line application called sendemail. Might do what you
want. I call it from the reminders program I was mentioning earlier.

Install the GNU Mailutils and then check the man page for mail.

Easy as that.
