I think you will be better of finding the mcmail.mc stack. I am not 
sure anymore how I found it but someone on this list recommended it 
to me quite a while ago. It sends email by talking to a normal SMTP 
server. I have successfully adapted it for a situation similar to 
yours. You provide SMTP server address, the destination 
address/addresses, subject, and the body of email and it does the 
rest.
