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); simi-
       larly, 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, containing 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.
