sendmail: Sends email with SMTP

The sendmail tag sends an email message using SMTP.

Syntax

sendmail tag syntax: 

      <dtml-sendmail>
      </dtml-sendmail>

The sendmail tag is a block tag. It either requires a mailhost or a smtphost argument, but not both. The tag block is sent as an email message. The beginning of the block describes the email headers. The headers are separated from the body by a blank line. Alternately the To, From and Subject headers can be set with tag arguments.
