Having been asked to do this by my manager, this was my solution:

pass a pre-encoded set of post variables to lynx, dump the server's
response to stdout, and pipe it all in to an html e-mail. and just run
the script from cron.
the sed command in there keeps the e-mail client from trying to print it
as soon as it loads.
in this example, StatID lets you chose which stat to run. this one is
fairly simple.

echo -en "MAIL FROM: root@localhost\nRCPT TO:
ADDRESS@DOMAIN.TLD\nDATA\nSubject: OTRS: Daily Tickets by
Creator\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\n$(echo
"Action=Login&RequestedURL=Action%3DAgentStats%26Subaction%3DRun%26StatID%3D5%26Format%3DPrint&Lang=en&TimeOffset=360&User=OTRSUSER&Password=OTRSPASS"
| lynx -source -post_data http://172.26.8.8/otrs/index.pl | sed
s/^\/)\n.\n" | nc 127.0.0.1 25 &> /dev/null

Here is another example where start and stop dates are passed by the
script (this one was written to be run on the first of every month):

### Year to Date tickets by Site and Queue
MONTH=$(perl -e 'use Date::Calc qw(Today Add_Delta_Days); my ($y, $m,
$d) = Add_Delta_Days(Today(), -1); print "$m";')
DAY=$(perl -e 'use Date::Calc qw(Today Add_Delta_Days); my ($y, $m, $d)
= Add_Delta_Days(Today(), -1); print "$d";')
YEAR=$(perl -e 'use Date::Calc qw(Today Add_Delta_Days); my ($y, $m, $d)
= Add_Delta_Days(Today(), -1); print "$y";')
#echo -en "MAIL FROM: root@localhost\nRCPT TO:
ADDRESS@DOMAIN.TLD\nDATA\nSubject: OTRS: Year-To-Date Tickets by Site
and Queue\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\n$(echo
"Action=Login&RequestedURL=Action%3DAgentStats%26Subaction%3DRun%26StatID%3D8%26Format%3DPrint%26UseAsRestrictionCreateTimeStartMonth%3D1%26UseAsRestrictionCreateTimeStartDay%3D1%26UseAsRestrictionCreateTimeStartYear%3D$YEAR%26UseAsRestrictionCreateTimeStopMonth%3D$MONTH%26UseAsRestrictionCreateTimeStopDay%3D$DAY%26UseAsRestrictionCreateTimeStopYear%3D$YEAR%26&Lang=en&TimeOffset=360&User=OTRSUSER&Password=OTRSPASS"
| lynx -source -post_data http://172.26.8.8/otrs/index.pl | sed
s/^\/)\n.\n" | nc 127.0.0.1 25 &> /dev/null

Hope this helps
