Problems with BLAT and SMTP on NT
Sorry about this post in the wrong forum!
Hi,

I've tried to use SMTP for links on an NT system, but I get an error... It says cant
connect, and unknown error.
My ISP says I can use BLAT, but its pretty vague on how to use it.
Can someone assist in showing how to use BLAT or SMTP if this is the information they
give on BLAT?
BLAT v1.7: WinNT console utility to mail a file via SMTP

syntax:
Blat <filename> -t <recipient> [optional switches (see below)]

-t
: recipient list (comma separated
-s
: subject line
-f
: from (sender)
-c
: carbon copy recipient list (comma separated)
-b
: blind carbon copy recipient list (comma separated
-mime
: MIME Quoted-Printable Content-Transfer-Encoding.
-uuencode
: Send (binary) file UUEncoded
-base64
: Send (binary) file using base64 (binary Mime)

Have you thought about using the Mailer.pm file that comes with LINKS2??

We are using it to connect to our SMTP server via sockets. It works pretty well.
