As a SMTP mailer you can use any command line tool that can be passed the arguments in the NBMAIL.cmd

Outlook cant be used

Does not exist any standard command line mailer tool in Windows?

NO i am not sure that microsoft has a CLi Mailer.

You can evaluate the freely available CLI mailers and use a one from a trusted vendor.Message was edited by:

Have you considered vbscript? Here's an example I found... http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowC...

I hope that helps.

HI Mark,

Does this VB script accept arguments ?
NBMAIL gives argument to the mailer program.

That particular script doesn't accept arguments, but vbscript in general does. Here is some info on arguments in vbscript from Microsoft...

Here is some general info on vbscript and wsh that might get you further down the road...

I hope that helps. If you do get something working, I'd be interested in seeing it.

I spoke with a friend this morning about using Outlook to do this, and he thought that using Outlook to send a simple email was like using a sledgehammer to drive a finish nail. In order to get Outlook to work, the environment needs to be set up quite thoroughly, and a full instance of Outlook gets started every time you want to send that mail.

My friend suggested using a DLL (not a full application) that has been around for a long time called aspemail (http://www.aspemail.com/download.html). It's much lighter and can be accessed through vbscript. I know that doesn't fulfill what you're looking for, but I thought I would at least report on what I heard.

Thanks,

Mark

How about Blat for windows? It has the added bonus of being the program that NetBackup and Symantec/Veritas recommends. Even better there are Veritas technotes on setting up blat to work with NetBackup. Here is the link to Blat for Windows: http://www.blat.net/194.
