Checkout the freeware program "blat".  There seems to be quite a few good 
examples of its usage on the web.

Subject: [Networker] Windoze Owner Notification


Hi Folks,

I haven't seen this question here before, so here goes.  I know a
sysadmin who runs his NW server on a Win 2k box.  He would like to utilize
the Owner Notification facility (a "hidden" attribute).  Being the unix
geek that I am, I only know the unix way of doing this.  By way of example,

Owner Notification: /usr/bin/mailx -s "Backup Notification" user_name AT dom 
DOT ain

But, on a Windoze NW Server, I'm uncertain how he might want to proceed.

If it were me, I'd write some kind of perl script to take the email
address as an arguement and send SMTP mail wherever it needs to go.

I don't think he's got the Perl skill (yet) to tackle this, although it
wouldn't really be all that hard.  

Bottom line question: Is there a less labor-intensive way to do this on
the ubiquitous Windoze platform...?

Thanks,

deb
