Blat is a command line SMTP mail client for Windows NT, originally by Mark Neal and Pedro Mendes. A great part of the code in this program was produced by the WinVN team (including GENSOCK.DLL). Both source code and binaries for intel 80486 are distributed. Recompile the source code if you need it for a different architecture. below is a description of the program >------------------------------------ Blat is a Public Domain (generous aren't we?) Windows NT console utility which will e-mail a file to a user via SMTP. The program requires the "gensock" DLL (borrowed from WinVN). A Registry entry is generated when the program is used with the -SMTP flag. This stores the address of the SMTP server, and the address of the _default_ sender (this may be overridden with the -f flag). Impersonation can be done with the -i flag which puts the value specified in place of the senders address in the "From:" line of the header, however if this is done the real senders address is stamped in the "Reply-To:" and "Sender:" lines. This can be useful when using the program to send message from NT users that are not registered on the SMTP host. SYNTAX: Blat [-s ] -t -f
-c [-i
] Blat -SMTP Blat -SMTP Blat -h -SMTP : address of SMTP server, -SMTP : address of SMTP host, default sender : the file with the message body, -s : the (optional) subject line, -t : the recipient's address(es), -t : address(es) for carbon copies, -f : the sender's address (must be known to the SMTP server), -i
: a 'From:' address, not necessarily known to the SMTP server. -h: this help. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MAILED WITH BLAT! Enjoy!
