I have a large REXX exec (actually, a set of execs) that creates email in SMTP 
format. The exec can convert mainframe files into MIME encoded attachments, 
with carriage control conversion. And there's a lot of other features.

The way it actually sends the email is it generates a stem variable whose lines 
are STTP format data, then writes that to a DD. The DD has an output 
destination which is the z/OS Communications Server SMTP gateway on some other 
system.

What I want to do now is use that SMTP data to send email by talking directly 
to an SMTP server, without using the z/OS SMTP gateway.

Is there some Unix way to do this? Preferably that I can call from REXX, but if 
not that, I can use shell scripts, Python, etc.
