  • And many more options…

Example for PHP script:

/**** Febootimail PHP email ****/
<?php
  // Send e-mail from PHP and output the result.
  // (On a MS Window operating system with
  // the "febootimail.exe" executable in the path).

  $server=' -SMTP smtp.sender.com -PORT 25';

  $body='"This is <I>HTML / MIME</I> e-mail message"';
  $body.='" sent with <B>Febooti Command line email</B>"';
