The command line uses the '-' as the indication of a program parameter. Your
Hostname also has this character, so that should be in double quotes, so the
command knows to ignore the - within the quotes. Same with the -f and any
other values that contain the '-'.

Try this:
mailall -h "Virtual-workshops" -f "thilton@virtual-workshops" -s "Email
Test" f:\emailtest.txt

Subject: [IMail Forum] MailALL.exe Syntax problems


Please help,

I'm trying to use MailAll.exe to send email to all of my users. I've created
a test file called, "emailtest.txt" but when I enter the text in the command
line I get a syntax error that I didn't specify the filename. What am I
doing wrong? The text I'm using is as follows:

mailall -h Virtual-workshops -f thilton@virtual-workshops -s"Email Test"
f:\emailtest.txt

What am I missing?

Please respond as soon as possible as this is a high priority task. Thanks
in advance for all your help!
