Options can be combined in a text file to save command-line space.
See the documentation for detailed information.

MailWrench command-options can be kept in separate text files. You may specify any number of these text files on the MailWrench command-line by placing the "@" symbol in front of the filename.

I suggest that you create a file called M.CFG with the following entries:

-from yourid@yourserver.com
-id yourid@yourserver.com 
-password yourpassword

Then, you might want to run through the following tests that are applicable to the way you want to use MailWrench:

Send a simple message to yourself via GMail:

mailwrench -to id1@gmail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -msg "This is a test" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587

Send a message from the text file test.txt to yourself via GMail:

mailwrench -to id1@mail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -file test.txt -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587

Send an HTML format message from the text file test.htm to yourself via GMail:

mailwrench -to id1@mail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -file test.htm -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -html

Send a message from the text file test.txt attaching the image file picture.png to yourself via GMail:

mailwrench -to id1@mail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -file test.txt -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -a picture.png

Send a message from the text file test.txt attaching all files in the list filelist.txt to yourself via GMail:

mailwrench -to id1@mail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -file test.txt -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -f filelist.txt

Send a message from the console input attaching all files in the list filelist.txt to yourself via GMail:

echo Just testing | mailwrench -filter -to id1@mail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -f filelist.txt

Send a message from the HTML file test.htm to yourself via GMail, routing all output to the file testout.txt:

mailwrench -to id1@mail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -file test.htm -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -html -out testout.txt

Send a message from the HTML file test.htm to yourself via GMail, suppressing all output:

mailwrench -to id1@mail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -file test.htm -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -html -suppress

Send a message from the HTML file test.htm to yourself via GMail with high priority:

mailwrench -to otherid@mail.com @m.cfg -s "test subject" -file test.htm -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -html -priority high

Send a simple message to yourself via GMail adding two custom headers:

mailwrench @m.cfg -to otherid@mail.com -s "test subject" -msg "This is a test" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -ch x-mail-agent mailwrench -ch x-mailer mailwrench

Send a simple message to yourself via GMail asking for a return-receipt:

mailwrench @m.cfg -to otherid@mail.com -s "test subject" -msg "This is a test" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -receipt -disp

Send a simple message to yourself via GMail, cc'ing everyone listed in the file cc.txt:

mailwrench @m.cfg -to otherid@mail.com -ccf cc.txt -s "test subject" -msg "This is a test" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587

Send a simple message to yourself via GMail, blind-cc'ing everyone listed in the file cc.txt:

mailwrench @m.cfg -to otherid@mail.com -bccf cc.txt -s "test subject" -msg "This is a test" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587

Send a simple message to yourself via GMail, blind-cc'ing anyone specified after -bcc. Note that -bcc parameters can be specified multiple times:

mailwrench @m.cfg -to otherid@mail.com -bcc id1@mail.com -s "test subject" -msg "This is a test" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587

Send a simple message to yourself via GMail, cc'ing anyone specified after -cc. Note that -cc parameters can be specified multiple times:

mailwrench @m.cfg -to otherid@mail.com -cc id1@mail.com -s "test subject" -msg "This is a test" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587

Send a simple message to yourself and another via GMail using multiple -to paramters:

mailwrench @m.cfg -to otherid@mail.com -to id1@mail.com -s "test subject" -msg "This is a test" -ssl -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 587

Please note that since I used GMail for all of my examples above, I had to specify -ssl each time. You won't need to do that if you're not using SMTPS or SMTP over SSL.

Product History

In 1997, I released a soon-to-be-popular command-line Win32 SMTP mailer called MailSend.

In recent years, I realized that I was not going to be able to use the same codebase in newer operating-systems to exploit new SMTP server features. For instance, I was unable to support SSL connections with MailSend without the use of third-party TCP tunneling software. At thirteen years of age, the product was starting to show some signs of falling behind.

MailWrench is an entirely new product with an entirely new codebase written in C#.
