Hi Bill,

I'm running XP Home, and I don't have that directory. Is it an XP Pro thing, or do I just need to create the directory? Is there any software I need to run? I would like to be able to send email from Jbase, and if this is a Windows function, it shouldn't matter where the file comes from, right? Of course, I could be all wet here.

Thanks,
Charlie Noah

This is extremely simple in Windows. Add a basic email header to the statement you wish to send, e.g...

x-sender: myser...@mydomain.com
x-receiver: targetn...@targetdomain.com
From: billingd...@mydomain.com
To: targetn...@targetdomain.com

...then copy the item to the "C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup" folder. Windows SMTP service will automatically send it out.

As Jeff says, however, you'll have to configure the SMTP server to properly "forward" to an authorized email server. If you "need" attachments, which most billings don't, then Jeff's method, although not as simple, will work fine. Also, if you want "html" you'll have to build a program to do that. Normally I just create an "html" template then, at runtime, substitute data into this template and write it to the aforementioned SMTP folder.

HTH,

Bill

We're started a project where a client wants to email statements to their customers. Has anyone done this with success, and if so, can you point me
in a direction?
