bhogaj31,
If you have the Back Office/Resource Kit, you can use the "MAPISEND" command from the windows 2000 command prompt. This requires that an email client (Outlook etc..) be installed on the system the command is being run from.
Take a look at the command syntax options.
syntax
MAPISEND -u "<profile>" -p <password>
-r <recipient> -s "<subject>" -m <text message> [options]
MAPISEND -u "<profile>" -p <password>
-r <recipient> -s "<subject>" -t <text_file> [options]
options
-i interactive login (prompts for profile and password)
-c cc: list
-f File Attachment - path and file name(s)
-v generates verbose output (an 8 line summary of the message)
"profile" is the profile name (user mailbox) of sender
"subject" is the subject line
"recipient" is one or more recipient(s)
If more than one recipient - separate with ';' these must not be ambiguous in default address book
Examples
mapisend -u "MS Exchange Settings" -p MyPassword -r billg@sun.com -s "Subject" -m "Test message text"
mapisend -u "MS Exchange Settings" -p MyPassword -r billg@hp.com -s "Subject" -t c:\MyMail.txt >> c:\mail.log
A substitue for MAPI is BLAT or Postie

Hi everyone
Thank you for all the responses.
I found that Blat was the closest thing to what I required.
It is the easiest to use.
Many thanks to TonyGroves for this info.
