Not sure what it does as far as tracking but there is a debug mode. If
it does not find the mail server it fails to send the email and your
program has to allow for it. You have various timeout and retry options
that can be set. Here is the blat syntax:
Peter
syntax:
Blat <filename> -to <recipient> [optional switches (see below)]
Blat -install <server addr> <sender's addr> [<try>[<port>[<profile>]]]
[-q]
Blat -profile [-delete | "<default>"] [profile1] [profileN] [-q]
Blat -h [-q]
-install <server addr> <sender's addr> [<try n times> [<port> [<profile>]]]
: set's SMTP server, sender, number of tries and port for profile
(<try n times> and <port> may be replaced by '-').
<filename> : file with the message body ('-' for console input, end
with ^Z)
-to <recipient> : recipient list (also -t) (comma separated)
-tf <recipient> : recipient list filename
-subject <subj>: subject line (also -s)
-f <sender> : overrides the default sender address (must be known to
server)
-i <addr> : a 'From:' address, not necessarily known to the SMTP
server.
-cc <recipient>: carbon copy recipient list (also -c) (comma separated)
-cf <file> : cc recipient list filename
-bcc <recipient>: blind carbon copy recipient list (also -bcc) (comma
separated)
-bf <file> : bcc recipient list filename
-organization <organization>: Organization field (also -o and -org)
-body <text> : Message body
-x <X-Header: detail>: Custom 'X-' header. eg: -x "X-INFO: Blat is Great!"
-r : Request return receipt.
-d : Request disposition notification.
-h : displays this help.
-q : supresses *all* output.
-debug : Echoes server communications to screen (disables '-q').
-noh : prevent X-Mailer header from showing homepage of blat
-noh2 : prevent X-Mailer header entirely
-p <profile> : send with SMTP server, user and port defined in <profile>.
-priority <pr> : set message priority 0 for low, 1 for high.
-server <addr> : Specify SMTP server to be used. (optionally, addr:port)
-port <port> : port to be used on the server, defaults to SMTP (25)
-hostname <hst>: select the hostname used to send the message
-mime : MIME Quoted-Printable Content-Transfer-Encoding.
-enriched : Send an enriched text message (Content-Type=text/enriched)
-html : Send an HTML message (Content-Type=text/html)
-uuencode : Send (binary) file UUEncoded
-base64 : Send (binary) file using base64 (binary Mime)
-try <n times> : how many time blat should try to send. from '1' to
'INFINITE'
-attach <file> : attach binary file to message (may be repeated)
-attacht <file>: attach text file to message (may be repeated)
-ti <n> : Set timeout to 'n' seconds.
-u <username> : Username for AUTH LOGIN (use with -pw)
-pw <password> : Password for AUTH LOGIN (use with -u)
-log <filename>: Log everything but usage to <filname>
-plain : Use AUTH PLAIN to login to SMTP server (use with -u -pw)
-charset <cs> : User defined charset. The default is ISO-8859-1
Note that if the '-i' option is used, <sender> is included in 'Reply-to:'
and 'Sender:' fields in the header of the message.
Optionally, the following options can be used instead of the -f and -i
options:
-mailfrom <addr> The RFC 821 MAIL From: statement
-from <addr> The RFC 822 From: statement
-replyto <addr> The RFC 822 Reply-To: statement
-returnpath <addr> The RFC 822 Return-Path: statement
-sender <addr> The RFC 822 Sender: statement
For backward consistency, the -f and -i options have precedence over these
RFC 822 defined options. If both -f and -i options are omitted then the
RFC 821 MAIL FROM statement will be defaulted to use the
installation-defined
default sender address
