You use this software completly at your own risk.
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
aminet in:
comm/net/IU-14-as225.lha (for AS225) comm/tcp/IU-14-
amitcp.lha (for AMItcp/Miami etc)
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!
