mailx equivalent under MS OS's
I develop and maintain a number of scripts (mostly Perl and ksh) which I have running both on out HP-UX platforms and Windows platforms.
Under Windows I use Windows Services for Unix (basically a rebadged MKS) which allows most of my scripts to run unmodified on both platforms.
The nature of these scripts is that they send out a communication when something that is not quite right is discovered. For email under Unix it is a snap, I usually just call mailx and away we go.
Windows for managing email is a whole different ball game.
Is there a straight forward way of sending an email from the command line on a Windows platform. A Perl module perhaps?

Re: mailx equivalent under MS OS's
Perhaps something like telnetting to the SMTP server and then typing the text there.
telnet smtpserver 25 << EOF
ehlo localhost
mail from:username@company.com
rcpt to:mailaddress@mailaddress.com
data
Put the contents here
.
EOF
This will again depend upon the MTA settings on the SMTP server (but mostly works if its a unix smtp server).
Regards,
Naveej

Re: mailx equivalent under MS OS's
I've used 'sendEmail' for porting perl apps to windows that needed a sendmail util. It works well. You'll need to install active perl to use it though. Here are the links.
SendEmail:

ActivePerl:

Good luck,
Jim
