Unfortunately, 'write to process' is broken on OS X (bug 3196) - so
it'll be necessary to bundle all of that stuff up into a variable or
file, and then use 'shell', if it's actually possible, at all. :(

Richard,
this snippet below:
put "/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -t" into mprocess
open process mprocess for write
write "From:" && pFrom & crlf to process mprocess
write "To:" && pTo & crlf to process mprocess
write "Subject:" && pSubject & crlf & crlf to process mprocess
write pBody & crlf to process mprocess
close process mprocess
wait until mprocess is not among the lines of the openProcesses
return the result
break
you need to fill the correct path to your sendmail installation,
the pFrom,
pTo, pSubject and pBody variables. if you want attachments or other
fancy
mime stuff, use Shao Sean email library to generate your email.
hope this help.

Thanks, Sarah. A bit too complicated for me to get into though. I'll
stick with SMTP relays.

We are using a dedicated Mac Mini as a server through an ISP. We've
asked them for a way to send emails from the Mini so we can avoid
using SMTP relay. This is the response they sent back. I'm hoping
someone here can tell us how to implement this through Rev.
"To generate emails from the Mini, you just need to call /usr/sbin/
sendmail or /usr/sbin/postfix withthe appropriate arguments.
Turning
on postfix as an SMTP server will only affect the Mini's ability to
receive email.
I too have a dedicated Mac Mini running as a server, but I do use
Postfix. People on the network set the Mini's IP address (or
Rendezvous name) as their SMTP server and all emails get sent there
first. If the emails match the domain name, then they get routed
locally, otherwise they get relayed to an external SMTP server. For
setting up Postfix &/or fetchmail, I highly recommend MailServe
<http://cutedgesystems.com/software/MailServe/>. It gives you a
graphical interface to all the setup stuff. The author, Bernard Teo,
was extremely helpful when I had some configuration problems.
However if you do not want to use SMTP relay, then as your ISP says,
you can use sendmail. I have a CGI script that does this, and I can
send it to you if that would help. However it seems to me that the
complication would be in receiving the mails from the rest of the
network. If you set up Postfix's SMTP server, it handles the
connections from other email clients and passes the emails on as
required. If you want to send all mail on using sendmail, I would
assume that you are going to have to write your own mail server to
talk to all the mail clients. There may already be a command line
program for doing this, but I haven't encountered it yet.
Cheers,
Sarah
