DESCRIPTION

       The smtp library package provides the client side of the smtp protocol.

       ::smtp::sendmessage token option...
	      This  command  sends the MIME part (see package mime) represented by token to an SMTP server. options is a list of options and their
	      associated values.  The recognized options are:

	      -servers
		     A list of SMTP servers. The default is localhost.

	      -ports A list of SMTP ports. The default is 25.

	      -queue Indicates that the SMTP server should be asked to queue the message for later processing. A boolean value.

	      -atleastone
		     Indicates that the SMTP server must find at least one recipient acceptable for the message to be sent. A boolean value.

	      -originator
		     A string containing an 822-style address specification. If present the header isn't examined for an originator address.

	      -recipients
		     A string containing one or more 822-style address	specifications.  If  present  the  header  isn't  examined  for  recipient
		     addresses). If the string contains more than one address they will be separated by commas.

	      -header
		     A list of keywords and their values (may occur zero or more times).

       If  the -originator option is not present, the originator address is taken from From (or Resent-From); similarly, if the -recipients option
       is not present, recipient addresses are taken from To, cc, and Bcc (or Resent-To, and so on). Note that the header key/values  supplied	by
       the  -header  option (not those present in the MIME part) are consulted. Regardless, header key/values are added to the outgoing message as
       necessary to ensure that a valid 822-style message is sent.

       The command returns a list indicating which recipients were unacceptable to the SMTP server. Each element of the list is another list, con-
       taining	the address, an SMTP error code, and a textual diagnostic. Depending on the -atleastone option and the intended recipients, a non-
       empty list may still indicate that the message was accepted by the server.
