[comp.mail.sendmail] sending mail within a C program

michael@infidel.lanl.gov (Michael I Angerman) (05/13/89)

   I have a program I have written in C and part of the program
mails files to people on the internet.  What I want is a short
subroutine or "system call" on the Sun that does the following:

     sendmail(username,filename);

        Where username is the string "michael@cardinal.lanl.gov"

          and filename is /usr/michael/file

    Does anyone have a program that does this ?
    
    I am thinking that the only way to do this is to
    fire up a shell program that sends mail and pass
    to the shell the username and filename.

    Any sugguestions or input would be appreciated....

Thanks,
Michael Angerman
