vmail automation

Does anyone know a way to attach files to vmail through a command line
option?
And then a follow up question is how can you get it to send automatically
too?

I am trying to write a cron script that will send the mail without human
interaction.

Thanks,
Ben

what is with “sendmail”? I think you can send email with that over
command line option.

Yes, you can dump a file directly into sendmail but you need to set the headers on the message in a certain way (sender, recipient, etc.). I think Perl has a module that simplifies this kind of thing.
