Dave and crew- Its Like anything else ...the solution will be that more expensive .. Your battle plan should include looking into exec/spawn/system call function(s) Long and short is you can probably exec a telnet to WhateverMailServer on Port 25 and issue SMTP commands from the exec'ed shell (At least this is what us old timers did in the old days..)
