Sambar Server Documentation

Mail Client (mailit.exe)

Overview
The Sambar Server includes a command-line mail client (mailit) for use in sending mail using the SMTP protocol. The usage of the mailit utility can be displayed by typing

mailit in a DOS command shell window:

Syntax: D:\SAMBAR\BIN\MAILIT.EXE <server> <from> [<auth>] <to> <subject> [<body>] [<attach1> <attach2> <attach3>]

        server   = the SMTP mail server to use.
                   (port 25 will be used.)
        from     = the source (user) of the mail.
        auth     = optional SMTP AUTH username:password.
                   (AUTH must include a colon: :)
        to       = the user(s) to send the mail to.
        subject  = the subject of the mail message.
        body     = the file containing the message being sent.
        attach1  = optional attachment file to send.
        attach2  = optional second attachment file to send.
        attach3  = optional third attachment file to send.

  i.e.: D:\SAMBAR\BIN\MAILIT.EXE smtp.ix.netcom.com test@anywhere.com tod@sambar.com "Thanks!" c:\thanks.dat c:\images\signature.gif 



Note: As a side-effect to the SMTP AUTH support, email address in
the to list may not contain colons.
