1)  Remember that SasCommunity is a Wiki, so anything in it can be
really, really wrong.  Or really, really right.  Or none of the above.

2)  This isn't working for you because it is using a chunk of freeware
called
mailcmd .  You can find it at just about any large site that carries Windows
freeware.  But it's new.  It's at version 1.0 which usually means Bug City.
(I wouldn't know - I don't have it installed and tested, and I don't plan
to.)

3)  The only places with firewalls have IT people who are not going to let
you install version 1.0 freeware on their systems.  The place I found the
software didn't even have 1 review of the software, which is not a really
good sign.

4)  I would think that a lot of companies/groups/agencies would specifically
block outputs from tools like this, so you would not be able to send out.

5)  SAS can do this without an external program.

David
