MAIL.MAIL.ESP from Beechglen may be another alternative.  (I think they also offer it for free.)



It behaves alot like sendmail, with limited text.  We use it mostly for attachments and a blurb that says what the attachment is.



The file extension does not have to exist on the HP3000, you add the extension when sending it.



In the command line it acts like smtpsend.



Example:



!SETVAR MAILSMTPHOST "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd"

!SETVAR MAILTO "[log in to unmask]"

!SETVAR MAILSUBJECT "Any Subject"

!MAIL.MAIL.ESP "-r [log in to unmask] -z MYFILE=MYFILE.csv Attached is a file."





I have not had any instances of it getting "stuck" in the middle of sending, or cleaning up of incoming mail, or posix remnants of the attachments.



(MAILSMTPHOST happens to be one of our exchange servers.)
