Veldfire project is a collection of C code aimed at simplifying email functionality.

The project aims to provide interfaces for sending email, attaching files, and sending to lists.

Compiling:

make; make install
Solaris will need to uncomment LIBS line at the top of the makefile, as well as in the librd/makefile

Usage:

Veldfire is best used with a configuration file containing the most common default settings (eg from, banner, header).

Files to be attached must come last in the command line options.

Configuration:

Veldfire variables that can be configured are:

- from
- to
- subject
- host
- port
- logfile
- loglevel
- configuration file
- section in config file
- report
- custom header
- banner
- max connection

from: Email address
to: Email address, file containing address of string of email addresses separated by one of ;:,tn
subject: Email subject
host: host to connect to. Default localhost
port: port on host. Default 25
logfile: Where to log
loglevel: 1 - 6
configuration file: where to read settings from
section: which section to use (see below)
report: Email address to send report to (useful for mailing lists)
header: Custom header field. Multiple instances possible
banner: Include veldfire banner at end of email
maxconnection: Maximum number of emails per connection
sendtimeout: Socket write timeout
recvtimeout: Socket read timeout
nomessage: Don't expect a message on stdin

Configuration can be via environment variables, a configuration file or
command line switches.

What's New in This Release:
Fixed Solaris build problems with flock, use fcntl.
Added switch to force process to stay in the foreground.
Added switch to log to stdout.
