Alternate email send options?

[CTYankee]

I was wondering if the host system has any way to send emails from the command line other than "mail", for example "mutt" or "metasend". And, if so, does one call them? I am trying to create a cron job that sends out an email with attachments, but the methods I have found for attaching messages with "mail" don't come through properly on some email clients that we use.

The easy way is to create your mail sending script in a PHP file and put it into your website. Then use cron to call that script instead of calling "mail", "mutt", "metasend" or "dunnohowtosend". :D
