[FX.php List] Sending an automated email?

[William Downs]

Hi Mike,

easy !

You should take a look at PEAR (a collection of open source classes)
specifically the mail_mime - it supports mime emails (with
attachments) and you can specify for it to use smtp with parameters
such as authenticate etc.

Open up a terminal and type pear list - this will show you if mail is
already installed. If not, the steps to install it on Mac OSX are
rather simple.

A search on the PEAR website would reveal all - search for mail::factory.

I set it up on Mac OS X 10.3.9 in less than 15 minutes (admittedly
with Filemaker Server 7), and it was roughly the same on a PC running
Win 2003.

Any more questions, feel free to ask.

William
