Yes, of course I do - you never said though that Exchange was involved, if you did I wouldn't have suggested using the mail command. You asked for a command line mode to send emails, I gave you a suggestion. OK, more suggestions. Is it MAPI you are using? If so, then there are various python/php/perl MAPI libraries you could use to interface with the Exchange server. I'm sure if you look hard enough there are also EWS variants. Also, you could look at DavMAIL - that implements a local SMTP port (amongst many other things) as a bridge to an Exchange server - it will talk either MAPI or EWS. (You can change the port number used for the local SMTP port so it doesn't clash with your current sendmail/SMTP configuration.) I *know* this isn't using the Evo infrastructure to send the mail, but since that is not currently possible, these are just some alternate suggestions.
