IMail - How to run SMTP32.EXE from the command line

Product: Version: Platform:

Question/Problem: How can I run SMTP32.EXE from the command line?

Answer/Solution: Here are SMTP32 command lines:

smtp32 full_path_to_queue_filename
With no options, smtp32 attempts to deliver a single message in the mail queue pointed to by full_path_to_queue_filename.

SMTP32 gives no interactive feedback (i.e., error messages), so the user should re-check the queue (the imail\spool directory) to see if the message was in fact sent.

smtp32 -qr -x
Cause smtp32 to attempt to deliver all messages in the mail queue.

smtp32 -qr
Standard queue run, try to deliver all files matching q*.*

smtp32 -qrlst
List queue run, try to deliver all files matching q*.lst

smtp32 -v
Activate full display of the conversation (verbose)
