Sending e-mail from D3 through the Linux server

I have been using Blat on the client side of all my systems (Windows
workstations) to handle D3 e-mail processing. However, several users at
various sites are using Mac's for their workstations. Is there a way to have
a Linux server send e-mails from HTML files created in D3?

D3Linux 7.4.0 running on RedHat 9.

Thanks.

Search the group for "SMTPSEND"

This is a fully Pick based little email program that my boss found and
I tweaked for our purposes.

With a little thought, (I had some at one point) I was able to send
mail with an HTML attachment. I had to do some research on how to
make a mail message see an attachment. In the end it wasn't hard.
The toughest part for me was finding the information.

Other methods is to write the file from Pick into a known file on the
Linux side and then use Linux's metasend.

A caveat here!!! With the latest licensing scheme from RD/TD or
whatever they are calling themselves, the first option will consume a
licensed seat when sending the mail.

I wrote the ETK(e-mail toolkit) and SMTPSEND eons ago and things have
changed since then in D3. If you want a D3 subroutine to send e-mail
directly from D3, I can post code that I've used in the near past along with
MIME envelope examples. Your best bet on the client is to use the sendmail
tool or a MUA like mutt. If you decide to use sendmail you will need to put
the HTML either as in-line or attachment disposition in a MIME part. If the
client has a MUA like Thunderbird, you can script the e-mail from the
command line. I don't use it so I can't provide an example immediately.

Glen - Are you familiar with how Blat works? I create a temp file in HTML
and then execute Blat from within D3 to e-mail the file I've created. Is
what you've described a similar solution?

I have a simple D3 subroutine that creates a Mutt command line and
then executes it. It worked using RH6.2\D37.2 and works with
RHEL5\D37.5.

Steve - That sounds like what I'm looking for. Can you e-mail me the source
as a .txt file, please?

Thanks.

I have used mutt in linux in exactly the manner your describe for
Blat.
Art

Art - I've got that figured out. My problem is getting it to work.
Apparently there's a problem with sendmail.mc where it's not finding a path
to send e-mail to my ISP.

Ricky,

I will forward a routine I have used in D3 for a long time to send
using sendmail (rather than mutt). I am not sure it is original by
me, or I would publish it here.

It handles both plain-text and html with/without attachments. (using
the linux mpack command for attachments)

HTH,

Robert

Thanks Robert. I'll let you know when I get it.
