Command Line email programs...

Hi. I need a *simple* command line email program that will take a
standard text file (same format as sendmail will read), read the To: and
From: lines and send an email message. It also needs to be able to talk
to an smtpd running on the same machine (probably via the localhost
software loopback port).
The server I need this for is running the Hethmon Bros. InetMail server
on Warp Server as an internal mail server/gateway. Sendmail is a pig
(IMHO) and doesn't want to talk to the Inetmail SMTPD. I need the
WarpCron logs and trap messages mailed to me and it writes a text file
and then calls Sendmail to send it. It can use other text-mode mailers
if I can find one which will accept command line parameters to tell it
which file to read etc.
Is anything available that I can try out? I don't need another mail
server, just a simple command line send utility. If there isn't
anything, I might have to try writing one using the RXSOCK library but
I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. Besides, it will be a first for me
and I'd rather not run alpha code on an enterprise server ;-).
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Rodney.

Hacksaw from Innoval at http://www.innoval.com/hacksaw/ I've relied on it for a couple years and it is rock solid. dAvid tHacker Rodney Baker <vk5ztv@senet.com.au> wrote in message news:3736D056.C70C8EDE@senet.com.au... > Hi.

I was surprised when someone showed me what could easily be done from the
command line just using the standard Warp4 Sendmail.
sendmail -af filename.txt -f fromaddress -t toaddress subjectline

WHy not use HMAILER included with Inet.Mail? It's an command line bulk mail program. Very usefull and it's right on your harddisk.
