Pretty much every UNIX system (or variant) in the past 10 years has Sendmail as their default mailing system (I dunno about SCO, SCO always did things kind of strange, but ...). Now, to be fair, while your system MAY have sendmail, it may not be the current system in place, as it is also often replaced for assorted reasons by other mail systems. Also, sendmail may simply not be on your default path. I'm sure you'll hate me for this, but "Contact your System Administrator for details". (Whenever I read that in a document, it's usually ME who's the Sys Adm, and it usually means I have a lot more digging to do.) However, the real point is that you are certainly welcome to write the entire thing in Java. Java is more than adequate to the task, it's not terribly difficult to do, and I'm confident you can find cut & paste code around the net. However, it is also worthwhile to look at potential alternatives that make these kinds of things easier to do.
