From: Mark Warner We're started a project where a client wants to email statements to their customers. Has anyone done this with success, and if so, can you point me in a direction? http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SendAnEmail I wish there was a check here before posting to

Mark: This is extremely simple in Windows. Add a basic email header to the statement you wish to send, e.g... x-sender: myser...@mydomain.com x-receiver: targetn...@targetdomain.com From: billingd...@mydomain.com To: targetn...@targetdomain.com Subject: Your monthly billing for September

Hi Bill, I'm running XP Home, and I don't have that directory. Is it an XP Pro thing, or do I just need to create the directory? Is there any software I need to run? I would like to be able to send email from Jbase, and if this is a Windows function, it shouldn't matter where the file comes

You'll have to install the SMTP service on your system and configure it to connect to your mail server. That server may have to be configured to allow you to allow mail from your SMTP service on your system. SMTP service is an optional component. I'm not sure that it's available on XP Home

Robert's right, of course. I believe on XP Pro you install the web server and I think the SMTP service is installed along with it. Go to Add Remove Programs Add/Remove Windows Components then select the Internet Information Services. I always install everything except the FTP service and

In Windows, it's a much nicer deal to install the SMTP service, configure it to connect to your valid email server, create a Q pointer to the C:\Inetpug\mailroot\Pickup folder (I call ours EMAILTEMP) then just write to that file. Vio`la - easy email from U2/Pick! I use the same principal to

Mark, A bigger question may be What are your statements going to look like? How are they currently produced (eg: embedded PCL commands to a laser printer)? If you are looking at doing more with your fancy new emailed statements than simply duplicating a dreary text only statement with minimal
