1. [OT] - sendmail on Linux

Okay, I'm at a loss.

I've got a Windows program that I want to convert to run under Linux to 
automatically send out an email (no, I'm not a spammer).

I think I need to use sendmail but I can't find any documentation on how 
to format and send an email using sendmail.

I know one of you Linux experts can point me in the right direction!

Thanks a bunch,

Jonas

sendmail is known for being buggy. When running on a server, consider
qmail or postfix.

$man mail
$man sendmail

RDS script http://www.rapideuphoria.com/economy.txt makes use of it.

Hi Jonas,
    The latest contribution is a SMTP library for Linux  by Peter Blue,=20
i think that could be a great alternative and you wouldn't need to relay=

on an external program.

Hi Jonas,

I had a similar problem so I wrote that little "smtp-lib.e" which I now use on 
our stuff here. I'll try and help if you have any problems with it.
