*Long:
POP3send program uses the extended command of POP3 protocol (XTND XMIT)
to send mail. Normaly one would use SMTP protocol to do this, but
some ISPs (like mine) block all SMTP connections because of lack
of authorisation in this protocol. But POP3 does support authorisation
(requires it) and so the POP3 protocol was extended to allow
mail to be sent instead of just received.

*Operation:
First, user data is read from YAM's config file, username, password
and POP3 server info are extracted from it. Then all the mail filenames
from YAM:Outgoing are collected, a connection to your POP3 server
is made and one by one, all waiting messages are sent (except those
with HOLD flag set). After each mailfile is sent it is transfered
to YAM:Sent folder using YAMs AREXX port, so it is advisable to have
YAM running when this program is started. You really shouldn't use
YAM while POP3send is running altough due to some lazynes on my
part you could operate it.

*Installation:
Copy POP3send to YAM:. In YAM use the menu to sellect settings->
configuration->arexx->one of the scripts menu entry. Enter:

Name:    POP3send                 Type: AmigaDOS
Script:  run YAM:POP3send
[YES]    Open console window      [YES] Wait for termination

And yes, run must be there. Whenever you want to send mail just use
the menu (Scripts).

*Misc:
This product is freeware. When distributed it must be accompanied
with this .readme file. No more than cost of media is to be charged.
POP3send was tested with YAM 2.0 and AmiTCP 4.0. I am not sure
if it would work with previous versions of these programs.
I am not to be blamed if it does something nasty; it worked fine
for me. Contact me via e-mail for bug reports, questions
and suggestions. And for nothing else.
