The best way for another module to send email is to use code like this :

&foreign_require("mailboxes", "mailboxes-lib.pl");
$mail = { 'headers' => [ [ 'From', 'fo...@ba...' ],
			 [ 'To', $destination ],
			 [ 'Subject', 'Your subject here' ]
			 ],
	  'attach' => [ { 'headers' => [ [ 'Content-type', 'text/html' ]
				       ], 
			  'data' => 'Message body here' } ]
	};
&mailboxes::send_mail($mail);

This will make use of the Read User Mail module's configuration for
sending, including any SMTP server or authentication set on its Module
Config page.
