Mail Alert Simple Mailer is a simple command-line utility designed for IT administrators for sending e-mail from Microsoft Windows OS. It can be executed from command line, Windows batch file or PowerShell scripts. My main reason for writing this software was to handle events generated by Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA), APC PowerChute and Windows Events to send hardware status and alerts like temperature alerts, UPS battery status, powerline status and RAID controller alerts from monitoring software. It can be used with any other software where you can configure external application to be executed when specific event occurs.
Mail Alert Simple Mailer supports SSL and STARTTLS protocols, so it is compatible with many free e-mail providers like GMail, Hotmail, etc. Unlike other simple command line tools it supports ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2 and UTF-8 code pages for national characters. Mail Alert Simple Mailer encrypts SMTP password in configuration file.

Simple and powerful application focused on mail security. You SMTP mail password is stored in configuration file in an encrypted form, not in plain text as seen in similar tools. MailAlert supports SSL and TLS encryption on SMTP, so it is compatible with gmail, etc.. One attachment file is not a limitation, because you can compress all the files you need and send it as one small attachment. This will reduce a file size to avoid mail server quota and mail clients attachment file extension restrictions.

too bad only one file attachment is allowed

Very nice free software.I prefer it over other programs and sripts like Send-MailMessage that do the same job but do not save encrypted password in configuration file. Unlike Blat it can send email to gmail and other mail servers supporting SSL/TLS. This is a software I was waiting for.
