i use the blat software sometimes.

Thanks for your answer. What did you put in the parameters when you installed blat?

blat -install ....

Thanks again

i don't really know which parameters you mean. anyway here is something i found.

syntax:
Blat -t [optional switches (see below)]
Blat -install [-q]
Blat -h [-q]

-install : set's default SMTP server and sender

: file with the message body ('-' for console input, end with ^Z)
-t : recipient list (comma separated)
-s : subject line
-f : overrides the default sender address (must be known to server)
-i : a 'From:' address, not necessarily known to the SMTP server.
-c : carbon copy recipient list (comma separated)
-b : blind carbon copy recipient list (comma separated)
-h : displays this help.
-mime : MIME Quoted-Printable Content-Transfer-Encoding.
-q : supresses *all* output.
-server : overrides the default SMTP server to be used.

Note that if the '-i' option is used, is included in 'Reply-to:'
and 'Sender:' fields in the header of the message.


EXAMPLES:

Blat -install smtphost.bar.com foo@bar.com // Sets host and userid
Blat -install smtphost.bar.com foo // Sets host and userid
Blat -install smtphost.bar.com // Sets host only

Blat myfile.txt -s "A file for pedro" -t foo@bar.com
// Sends a file with subject line "A file for pedro"

Blat myfile.txt -s "A file for pedro" -t foo@bar.com -q
// Sends a file with subject line "A file for pedro" and does not print
// informative messages on the console

Blat myfile.txt -s "A file for mark" -t fee@fi.com -f foo@bar.com
// -f option overrides the default sender

Blat myfile.txt -s "A file for pedro" -t foo@bar.com -i "devil@fire.hell"
// -i replaces "From:" line address (but leaves Reply-To: and Sender: lines)

Blat myfile.txt -s "animals" -t fee@fi.com -c "moo@grass.edu,horse@meadow.hill"
// -c mails carbon copies to users moo@grass.edu and horse@meadow.hill

Really want to know what you are talking about. Is this an utility in NT, Oracle or something else? Thanks.

Blat is only a dll that you copy in windows\system32 and as you can see below enable the option to send mails at command prompt as you do in unix with mail through a SMTP server.

You can read more about this in:
