Sendmail on OSX through Rev

[Andre Garzia]

Richard,
this snippet below:


    put "/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -t" into mprocess

    open process mprocess for write

    write "From:" && pFrom & crlf to process mprocess

    write "To:" &&   pTo  &  crlf to process mprocess

    write "Subject:" &&  pSubject  &  crlf & crlf to process mprocess

    write   pBody &  crlf to process mprocess

    close process mprocess

    wait until mprocess is not among the lines of the openProcesses

    return the result

    break

you need to fill the correct path to your sendmail installation, the pFrom,
pTo, pSubject and pBody variables. if you want attachments or other fancy
mime stuff, use Shao Sean email library to generate your email.

hope this help.
