You'll need to configure SendM@ail with the details of your SMTP server
and also with your personal details.
Your SMTP Server Name is usually the second part of your email address.
For example if your email address is johnsmith@blue.hq.com
your SMTP Server Name will be blue.hq.com.
If this doesn't work, your System Administrator or
ISP will be able to tell you the exact name. If you have another email
program that does work check the settings it uses.
The Port is almost always 25 for SMTP - check with your ISP or
Network Administrator if it doesn't work.
Once you have these details you can enter
them in the SMTP Setup Dialog. To get there use the
Setup and SMTP Server... menu options.
Then your personal details are entered in the From Details...
Dialog box. You should enter the return address i.e. your email address
that others can reply to in the From field. An example of an email address is
johnsmith@blue.hq.com
And you can optionally enter a signature - this will be appended to all emails you send.
The log outgoing mail check box will allow you to
save a copy of all mail you send to a file called sendmail.log.
This is in the same directory as SendM@ail is run from.
Sending Mail
Click on the Send Menu option, enter the recipents name, the subject of the message
and the message text and then click the Send button.
You can also double click on the tray icon to bring the dialog box
up even more quickly.
Sending mail from the command line ?
You need to create a text file using an text editor such as notepad
(not Word or WordPad). The first line of the text file must be the list
of recipients - separate them with either spaces or commas. The second
and subsequent lines of the text file are the message.
Save the file as mail.txt in the same directory
as the SendM@ail program. Then from the SendM@ail directory type
sendm32 mail.txt. Instead of mail.txt you can use any
other valid filename.
An example message is shown below
bill@whitehouse.gov
Subject: News of great new mail app for the net
Bill,
Check this out - I've just discovered a great new app on the net.
I'll let you have the URL when we get together on Friday.
Nothing seems to work. Help.
