agreed, but just about anything would be better than that :)))
Can the server app work with a command line SMTP client?
http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/blat.html is a very nice SMTP client
widely used. And there are tons of tools and objects to inject mail via
SMTP. jmail, aspmail, aspqmail, etc, etc.
The best design is that which uses supported interfaces. Writing files to
the Imail spool directory with your fingers crossed is pretty sucky design,
it's totally non-portable, given so many superior alternatives into into an
RFC-standard SMTP interface, which could be on another machine anywhere.
