texte = Basically, the [sendmail] context puts the email in the EmailFolderand your SMTP server then sends it out from there. You don't have touse [sendmail] to send the email, basically any file that complieswith WebDNA's Email Format can be put in the EmailFolder to be sent. Here is the Email Format spec. from the online docs.File Formats - Email File Format--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WebDNA does not actually send the email; it writes a special file intoan EmailFolder which the separate Emailer program uses to send theemail. If the Emailer program is not running, no emails will be sent.The Emailer program does not erase old outgoing email files until ithas successfully completed sending the email.The email file format conforms to Unix SendMail and MacintoshSIMS/EIMS native mail format. You can add any extra MIME headers atthe top of the file, followed by a blank line and then the body of themessage. The format is basically what you see in a Eudora emailmessage.If you wish to send emails from your own CGIs or programs (withoutusing WebDNA's built-in [SendMail] context), you can write a text fileinto the EMailFolder specified in the EMailer preferences. The filemust have the following format (only the text between the dashed linesgoes into the email file):-----------Text file saved into EMail folder-------to: sales@pacific-coast.comfrom: me@my domain.comsubject: This is the subject lineDate: Mon, 05 Jan 1998 15:59:33 -0500body...body...body...---------------------------------------------------An example:------- /WebCatalogEngine/EMailFolder/SomeFileName.txt -----to: support@pacific-coast.com, WebDNA@pacific-coast.comfrom: WebMaster@YourDomain.comsubject: This is the Subject LineDate: Mon, 05 Jan 1998 15:59:33 -0500line 1line 2line 3line 4------------------------------------------------------Sal D'AnnaOn Tue, 8 Feb 2005 10:44:45 -0500, Tangel@islandpress.org
