About This Program
------------------

SendMail for Windows (TM) is a command line program for sending
E-mail messages over the Internet.

It allows sending of messages from the command line, CGI script or batch
file.  It is a Windows version of the popular Unix Sendmail program.
It allows easy migration of perl scripts from Unix to Windows since it
uses the same simple interface as the Unix Sendmail.

It can be easily integrated with your Website, or Commercial Application.
SendMail for Windows is an ideal Tool for Systems Administrators, WebMasters,
Software Developers, and Integrators.


Usage:
  Sendmail recipient...

    the specified recipient.


options:
  -t or -parseHeader
    Scan message for recipients.  SendMail will scan the message header
    for lines containig To:, Cc:, and Bcc: and them to the list of
    recipients.  Only the message header is scanned, the scan terminates
    when the first blank line is encountered.


  -messageFile=filename
    Read message from file filename.  By default message is read from stdin.
    When reading from a file, the end of message is the end of file.  When
    reading from the console the message can be terminated by a single
    period "." on a line by itself.

  -log=filename
    Specify name of log file.  By default log messages are logged to file
