SMTP Mailer

This product makes it extremely simple to send an email from a command line. You can specify the sender and multiple recipients including CC and BCC. It also supports multiple attachemnts and server authentication.

Send an email from a command line

Here is a short example of how to use the SMTP Mailer.

SMTPMAIL.EXE from=example@smptinfo.com to=example@smtpinfo.com body="Hello World!" subject=Example server=smtp.smtpinfo.com

Send now or Edit before sending

You can choose to send the email directly or you can show it to the user before sending it. This allows the user to edit the content.

SMTPMAIL.EXE from=info@smptinfo.com to=test@smtpinfo.com body="Edit your emails before you send them" subject="Send emails from the command line" server=smtp.smtpinfo.com gui

If you add the GUI command line switch then the email will open in an editor before it is sent.
