Basic use here
eg. You could have a HTML file as follows:
panic.html
Code: Text [Select]
- Dear Client,
- As you know in this trying time of crazy weather, stupid governments,
- and incessant bickering relatives, we have now learnt that Nature
- is out to eliminate us with a virus for all the wrong we have done to the planet.
- Having looked at this problem logically we have determined that there is really
- only one coarse of action:
- <img src="cid:KC.jpg">
- Yours Sincerely,
- Fin Dusinpub
Using the image attached to this post, the command would be, (assuming image is located at D:\junk):
Code: Text [Select]
- blat.exe -server smtp.myserver.org -u admin -pw password -to [email protected] -replyto [email protected] -subject "Panic Now, Avoid The Rush!" -bodyF "panic.html" -html -embed "D:\junk\KC.jpg"
If you have the list of clients in a CSV/text file, etc then the command can be wrapped in a DOS command file or PowerShell (for CSV) script and have it send an email to each address, one every 500ms or so.
Limitation of Blat is it doesn't do SSL to the SMTP server but if it's your server then maybe you can get around that.
So goes the theory anyway
