Ubuntu Servers :: Nut Can't Use Mailutils "mail" Command?

So I installed and configured nut. used the help of 2 tutorials, [URL].. But I got most of just reading the comments in the /etc/nut configfiles and modifying them as described there (tut's where slightly outdated) .

So I pull out the plug and nothing happens. The script I invoke with the nut user returns a execute error 127 (shows in daemon.log). So I execute the command (with argument) as my user, and that works. when executing it as the nut user I get.

Code:
Cannot open `/root/.mailrc': Permission denied
This because I invoke a mail command by the script.
Code:
echo "Spanning is weg! Da spel wordt hier afgesloten als de batterie plat is!" | /usr/bin/mail -s"UPS monitor" mutrax@localhost

So My question is simple. How do I get nut mailing without to much risk? It'll probeably be something simple, but I don't want to grant evry troublesom thing admin rights. Anyway, If someone is intrested how I configured nut, I'll be glad to post it here.
