As you automate administrative tasks, it's often handy to send an email notification of the process being completed...or when it fails. SMTPCMD gives you a command-line ability to send email notification to one or more users, including specified attachments. Unique about this command is that you don't need to configure any mail services or clients on the workstation. SMTPCMD will attempt to send directly to the MX record of the workstation's domain name, or alternatively, to a specific email server.
SYNTAX: SMTPCMD (FROM="From_Name") (To1,to2,...) (Subject) (Message) (Attachments) (SMTP Server) (QUIET)
