Blat is a Public Domain console utility that sends the contents of a file in an e-mail message using the SMTP protocol. It is useful for creating scripts where mail has to be sent automatically (CGI, backups, etc.), or just as a quick way to send a file or message quickly from the command line. It will store relevant configuration details in the registry for ease of use. Optionally, it can also attach multiple binary files to your message.

  • Latest Changes

    - Add -overwritelog option to delete an existing log file and start writing a new log. This is used with the -log option

    - Add -bodyF option to specify a filename that contains the message body. This could be used in an options file to specify a default text file

    - Use MSVCRT.DLL instead of MSVCRT71.DLL

    - Allow command line -t/-to options to override and eliminate -t/-to settings from a default options file. This change also effects -c/-cc, -b/-bcc, -tf, -cf, and -bf. Previously, if any of these were specified in the options file, users could not override

    - Allow zero length attachments to be sent, as a notification that such files were created by some other activity

    - Changed the method of checking Windows version. The new method was found at Microsoft's MSDN website

    nice tool, but sends messageid´s twice, so exchange doesn´t accepts mail´s with same messageid, therefore some mail´s will fail

    The best commandline emailer bar none. Very easy to use and a lot of options.
