- Requirements
-
- You must be using SMTPpost (and all that goes with it!) for
- this program to be of any use. It can be found on the

-
- Background
-
- When I started using SMTPpost as an external emailer for
- some email programs I found there was no way to write mail
- off line and then send it all the instant I was on line. You
- can use SMTPpost and SMTPd together but you have to wait
- about 4 minutes after you run SMTPd for your email to be
- sent. As I have a dial-up account and have timed phone calls
- I didn't like this idea.
-
- This program examines a directory and using SMTPpost
- tries to send all the files there, the moment its run.
-
- I'm sure there's other programs to do this but I thought I
- would just write my own as I have some time to spare :)
-
-
- Pre-Beta
-
- This archive contains a pre-beta version of SMTPsend. Its
- not that good yet but I posted it to see if anyone else was
- interested in using it. If no one is, then I wont post
- further versions. Please email me at the address below if
- you think you might have a use for it.
-
- There is loads more the final release will do ...
-
- * Rename or move files if sent sucessfully.
- * Create a log file
- * Allow options to be used with SMTPpost
- * Have an option to switch of output display
- * Proper docuemntation!
-
- ... and anything else you want done (just email me at
- moonchild@enterprise.net)
-
-
- Usage
-
- Its realy simple. Just place this program in the same
- directory as SMTPpost and run it from CLI as follows:
-
- SMTPsend <drive:directory>
-
- It will then use SMTP post to send all the files in the
- specified directory. Thats it. It wont delete or rename
- files that where send, infact it wont change anything in the
- directory yet. (See notes above!).
-
- Have SMTPpost set up so it queues all files to the
- directory you have chosen! (For more info on setting up
- SMTPpost see docs that come with it).
-
-
- Bugs
-
- I'm sure there must be some so if you find them please email
- me at
-
- moonchild@enterprise.net
-
- NB remember this is a pre-beta version so don't expect to
- much yet!
