I'd say exactly the contrary. If it's possible doing something outside the
*server*, do it in such way. Besides my unwillingness ( ok maybe this word
does not even exist :) of doing it inside XMail there is the problem of :
1) host the configure the M$ SMTP service to drop files inside spool/local
2) the SMTP service will create the file directly inside spool/local and
this will break the protocol
IMO there're 2000 ways to send messages in any high level language, pls
pick a "sane" one.
