Use any standard, MIME-Compliant mail agent to create an email with the attachment you want to send. Then, strip the headers down to a bare minimum, and you'll be able to cat them with the (encoded) attachment you want to send. > > > > 3. What kind of file do you want to send?

Well, that limits your options, since Linux can't pull email on demand. However, since .tgz is an unusual format for M$ software, please confirm that the file is going to come from a windoze box. Assuming the answer is "yes", there are two possibilities: 1. Open a share on the windoze box, read-only and password protected, and use SMBCLIENT to pull the file from the windoze machine into the server and send it from there. 2. Write a script for the windows scheduler and use it to push the file into a samba share on the server. The cron job, file encoding, and concatenating the email headers with the file will be left as an exercise for the reader. HTH.
