# NAME
# 	mail-mailer.pl - Smtp client written in Perl
#
# SYNOPSIS
# 	mail-mailer.pl -s "Test" --smtp=my-smtp-server.com admin@net1.net

# 	sending e-mails.

#	e-mails.
#	This script works in Linux, Unix and Windows environments.
#
# OPTIONS
#	-f				From
#	-s				Subject
#	-c				Cc-address
#	-b				bcc-address
#	--sendmail		Use sendmail to send the e-mail
#	--qmail			Use qmail-inject to send the e-mail
#	--smtp=HOSTNAME	Use HOSTNAME as the SMTP server. 
#	--help			Prints the help info and exits
#
# EXAMPLES
# 	cat mailbody.txt | mail-mailer.pl -f me@mydom.com -s "Hy dude" --sendmail friend@dom.com
