Description:
============

SendMail is an application for broadcasting mass e-mails. It is a command line tool, which can be controlled by batch files or makefiles. All parameters (e.g. From, To) needed to send an e-mail can be defined eigther as command line parameters, an Ini file or in the registry. Values for the parameter fields can be read in from defined text files. Each text file can include further text files by containing a "$I file" line. SendMail uses a SMPT server to deliver the e-mails and not Exchange/Outlook.

For example:
sendmail /[email protected] /TO=c:\to.txt /CC=c:\cc.txt /REF=Meeting /MESSAGE=c:\message.txt ATTACHMENTS=c:\attach.txt

   [PARAMETERS]
   MESSAGE=c:\sendmail\message.txt
   [email protected]
   REF=Meeting
   TO=c:\sendmail\to.txt
   CC=c:\sendmail\cc.txt
   BCC=c:\sendmail\bcc.txt
   ATTACHMENTS=c:\sendmail\attach.txt
   HOST=smtp.chello.at
   PORT=25

   For example the file "c:\sendmail\to.txt" looks like this:
     Jerinic Stasa <[email protected]>
     $I c:\sendmail\further_mails.txt
     GMX-Stasa <[email protected]>
     [email protected]

     The file "C:\sendmail\further_mail.txt" will be also read and the e-mail addresses will be added to the "TO" addresses.

  For example the file "c:\sendmail\attach.txt" looks like this:
     c:\Test.doc
     c:\download\indy\Indy_8_22_Src_D6.zip
