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.

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.

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. Note that there must be a space after the colon following each header line. And also a blank line between the last header and the first line of the message.
An example message is shown below

To: bill@whitehouse.gov
CC: sales@deadsys.com
bcc: secretary@localhost
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.

Regards

Al

Another way of specifying the recipients is to create a text file containing the recipients email addresses (each on seperate lines) and using the -aFilename option where Filename is the name of the file containing the addresses. This is useful when using majordomo.
eg sendm32 -aADDR.TXT mail.txt where ADDR.TXT contains the following

fred@white_house.gov
gorby@red.square.gov
maggie@number.ten.gov

There are several command line options

• -h specifies the name of the SMTP Mail Server. eg -hmail.bigbusiness.com
• -p specifies the port the SMTP Server listens on eg -p25
• -t specifies the list of recipients eg -tsales@deadsys.com,fred@home,george@octagon.gov Note that the recipients must be seperated using commas (not spaces).
• -f specifies the 'from' field. This is usually something like 'myname@bigbusiness.com'
• -q. This will keep the window hidden while mail is being sent.
• -l[0|1]. This will switch logging to the textfile Sendmail.log off or on.
• -m This will force the contents of the file to be encoded using MIME.
• -aAddressFileName This specifies the text file where the address will come from This is useful for sending ZIP or graphics files or other non-text messages.
• -o[tfmsc] This will NOT send the corresponding header line.
  -ot Don't send the To: line
  -of Don't send the From: line
  -om Don't send the X-Mailer: line
  -os Don't send the Subject: line
  -oo Don't send the Content-Type: line
  -oc Don't send the CC: line
  The flags can be combined eg -otmsco. Will only send the From: header line.
• -s"Subject line goes here" This specifies the subject line, it is especially useful when you need to specify a subject along with a MIME attachment.

sendm32 -p25 -hmailhost.thebiz.com -ot -q -fbert@bigbusiness.com -tsupport.deadsys.com file.txt
This example would use port 25 of the SMTP host mailhost.thebiz.com to send the file file.txt to support.deadsys.com. It would not send the To: header line and the From: header line would be bert@bigbusiness.com, also the SendM@ail status window would not be displayed while the message was being sent.
