How do you send email without Outlook installed?

Hi,
We have a Citrix farm with an application that generates a report and then
loads Word.
Our users would like to then be able to email this report to
internal/external users from Word the same way they can from their local
machine.

The problem is because the application is on a server (Citrix farm) the
Security team are not allowing Outlook to be installed. Also Microsoft's
recommendation is not to install Outlook on servers.

How do we get round this?

I'm sure I have seen a KB article on how to email without installing Outlook.

Thanks

Saff

Hi

Why not use BLAT, just Google for it. It is a command line mail sender. You
can write batch files to fire off e-mails. Set up the batch file to send a
document to the required users.

I use it quite a bit, usually to report if a script has run on a customers
site and what the result is.

if not blat, then any other command line mailer, but not an email client and
certainly not Outlook.
