I want to send out emails like the task center sends. I have found
several post about creating your own stored procedures in Java or C
that will do it.
The Task center is already using an api to send email. Is there any
way to use the same process that it is using. I can't find anything
about it in the documentation and I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks,

Steven

I doubt it's using an API - other than the SMTP specification. It's
not a terribly difficult-to-write specification either - you just need
to find the spec on the 'net, and use it. Since it involves socket
programming, Java or Perl will be much easier than C, although if you
have a reasonable socket library in C, it shouldn't be too hard there,
either.
