blat smtp

Hi All,

i'm trying to use Blat in order to email something from server to myself every day.
So I've got the blat.exe in system32 and I typed the following:

blat -install smtp34.on.he.com myemail@me.com

then i hit enter but.... i need the following file to be attached everytime with the email and the file resides in the c:\log\file.txt

How do I attach this file in there? What do I use in command prompt to make sure that computer will attach it and send it to me, I've tried:

blat -to myemail@me.com -attacht file.txt

it is not working....

i'm so confused now...

blat -attach c:\log\file.txt -to myemail@me.com -u "username" -pw "password"

the -u and -pw are only if you need to enter authentication to send mail (SMTP authentication)

which password do i put in: the one from sonic wall or the one from computer that i'll need the file from?
when i execute this command do i get the file right away to my email?

This is an example of how we mail notifications about our backup using variables. Don't know if it helps.

blat %NOTIFICATION_HEADER_PATH%\operator_worksheet.txt -t %EMAIL_TO% -i %EMAIL_FROM% -s "(Print 1st) MEDIA MANAGEMENT PRINTOUT - Operator Worksheet"

We use the set commands in a .bat file. for example: set NOTIFICATION_HEADER_PATH=j:\nsr\scripts\notification_headers
