Steve,

We are using JTMAIL here.  It is a stand alone program that allows sending
mail from the 3000 to a SMTP server.  Very little set-up.  I pulled it off
the  Interex server.  Here's the help from the code...

run jtmail.pub.util;info="-?"

It's possible to Telnet to port 25 of a SMTP server and send mail with a
command line...I would like to incorporate that functionality into a UDC (or
command file). It's easy to do this to send a simple email...

Telnet servername.domain 25
helo
mail from:username@domain
rcpt to:tousername.domain
data
"message goes here"
quit

Question - how would/could this be used to attach a file from the MPE file
system to the email?

If anyone has done this, I'd sure like to talk to them instead of
re-inventing the wheel...
