SMTP(2)SMTP(2)NAMEsmtp - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SYNOPSIS
include "smtp.m";
smtp := load Smtp Smtp->PATH;
open: fn(server: string): (int, string);
sendmail: fn(fromwhom: string,
towhom: list of string,
cc: list of string,
msg: list of string): (int, string);
close: fn(): (int, string);
DESCRIPTION
Smtp provides an interface to the mail transport protocol SMTP.
Open opens a connection to the given SMTP server. If server is nil,
open uses the default mail server $smtp, which must be defined in
ndb(6). It returns -1 and an error message if the connection fails.
Sendmail sends mail to the SMTP server for subsequent delivery. The
first argument names the sender, the list towhom names the recipients,
cc is a list of CC's, and msg has the text of the message. The latter
may simply be a list of one item containing the whole message, a list
of lines of the message or any intermediate format. It returns -1 and
an error message on failure.
Close closes the connection to the SMTP server.
