Sending E-Mail Without Installing the SMTP Service

[Mac]

Hi Guys,

Can I know how to send SMTP message from Windows 2000
SERVER without installing SMTP service. I don't want to
install CDO service and outlook.
Is there any easy method to send SMTp messages please. ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

You could telnet to the smtp port of your mail server typically tcp port 25
and issue SMTP commands. You could script it with any one of several
scripting languages.

You could use any of the public domain mail tools, e.g.
mailto.exe, sendmail.exe, blat. They all let you send
a message from a command prompt to some SMTP
server.
