The reason I am doing this is because I need to create an e-mail with inline images from a website. The user on the website can create a HTML message, and it then has to be sent via Coldfusion. I already have a script that puts together the file, but the header and the body are both in the same file.
And I can't seem to find any sample files to see what the format should look like. There aren't any in the spool dir, even when I sent myself a mail... Any thoughts?

It's very easy to do if you know how (the fact that you know about RFC822 is very good); it's nearly impossible if you don't know how (thousands upon thousand of companies have had programmers write scripts to send mail rather than use a real mail client, and failed miserably -- so bad, in fact, that they have caused the amount of spam people receive to increase). It is not recommended to create your own SMTP E-mail, unless you are willing to take the time to learn exactly how to do it. >and put them in the Spool dir of Imail.

However, the files in the IMail spool directory are in a proprietary file format -- so you have to rely on luck as well as skill to make sure that it works properly. If you *must* do it, you need to have both a Q*.SMD and D*.SMD file, where the D*.SMD file has the actual E-mail and the Q*.SMD file has the recipient information (you'll need to analyze some Q*.SMD files to figure out how it is formatted). Most likely, sending the mail with a real mail client would be better, however. Is there something specific that writing your own would be able to accomplish that might not be possible with a regular mail client? -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
