- 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.
