Using Lightmail, you may send mail to one or more recipients, sending either plain text messages or messages with one or more attachments, with configurable subjects, directly from inside another program, or from the command line interface. The purpose of Lightmail is to provide an easy way for programs to send files that they generate, via email, with an absolute minimum of fuss and coding involved. There is no need to tinker with configuration files, as there is with many MUA's. You may set your From: header as needed on the command line from within your software, making it perfectly suited to multi-user software environments where software may need to send mail on behalf of multiple people or roles. Lightmail is ideal for Windows users but also has a solid place on *nix systems as well, with a lightweight model which requires no cumbersome configuration.
