Send Email via script through Exchange

We are trying to find a way to move this service off of a UNIX box and adapt
it to the Windows platform.  We currently export a TXT file from our ERP
system that includes the fax number and the body of the Email.  This file is
then saved into a directory where Unix scans the directory for *.TXT and then
sends the file out through exchange using SENDMAIL after grabbing the fax
number from the file and appending @domain.com.

I hope this makes sense and that someone can help.  We are using E2K3 SP2 on
Windows 2003 Standard.

Thanks for any help in advance!

It's the same with the Windows SMTP service. There's a folder on your
server called (IIRC  - it's been a very long tim) PICKUP. Share that
out.

Ah, yes. Here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=SMTP+PICKUP+IIS
you go.
