PLEASE READ THE LICENSE.TXT BEFOR USING THE SOFTWARE


Description
------------

AutoMailer automatically dispatches files as email attachments.
This is done by storing any file in a spezial "autoprocessing directory".
AutoMailer periodicaly polls that directory and if there is a file,
it will be mailed as an attachment.

All you need is an TCP/IP connection to a SMTP Mailserver.

AutoMailer runs in the systray.

If you need to run AutoMailer as a NT-SERVICE,
please purchase AutoMailerNT online - it's cheap.

INSTALLATION
------------

1. Unzip the package to any directory

automail.exe	-	the program
automail.ini	-	configuration-file
readme.txt	-	this file
license.txt	-	legal notes


2. Start AutoMailer



3. CONFIGURE AutoMailer

Mail Host	= IP or DNS Name of your SMTP server (i.e. mail.yahoo.com)

Port		= standard Port is 25

To		= valid email address(es) - required
		  (i.e. first@berlin.de;second@berlin.de)

From		= from Address - required (i.e. myname@yahoo.com)

Subject		= what ever you want - optional

Message		= what ever you want - optional

PollSec		= polltime in seconds - required 

PollOnStartup	= define the status on startup - 

Log		= logging on (automail.log) - may be set

Backup		= mailed files are copied to a subdirectory "backup"
		  (below "OutDir") - optional

Delete 		= if set to YES, mailed files will be deleted

Archive		= if set to YES, only new or modified files will be mailed.
 		  NOTE THAT AUTOMAILER CLEARS ARCHIVE-BIT AFTER THE
		  FILE HAS BEEN SENT SUCCESSFULLY.    

OutDir		= path to an existing "autoprocessing directory"
		  (i.e. c:\program files\automail\out) - required


All parameters are set in the GUI and are written to automail.ini periodically.
You can also modify automail.ini during runtime.
Changes do not take effect until AutoMailer polls for the next time.

It's important to understand the three file-options:
"Backup", "Delete" and "Archive".
A proper combination of these options allows AutoMailer to handle a lot of scenarios. 


FOR EXAMPLE
-----------
You are running a faxprogram which stores incomming faxes in AutoMailer's OutDir.
If "Archive" is set to NO, all faxfiles will be mailed each time AutoMailer polls.
If "Archive" is set to YES, only new or modified files will be sent. 

You are running a program which stores its logfiles in Automailer's OutDir.
Logfiles are usually modified sometimes. Set "Archive" to YES and "Delete" to NO.
