Body
I am writing a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29" rel="noreferrer">Bash</a> shell script for Mac that sends an email notification by opening an automator application that sends email out with the default mail account in Mail.app. The automator application also attaches a text file that the script has written to. The problems with this solution are <ol> <li>It is visible in the GUI when sending</li> <li>It steals focus if Mail is not the current application</li> <li>It is dependent on Mail.app's account setup being valid in the future</li> </ol> I figure to get around those shortcomings I should send the mail directly from the script by entering <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol" rel="noreferrer">SMTP</a> settings, address to send to, etc. directly in the script. The catch is I would like to deploy this script on multiple computers (10.5 and 10.6) without enabling <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postfix_%28software%29" rel="noreferrer">Postfix</a> on the computer. Is it possible to do this in the script so it will run on a base Mac OS X install of 10.5. and 10.6? Update: I've found the <code>-bs</code> option for Sendmail which seems to be what I need, but I'm at a loss of how to specify settings. Also, to clarify, the reason I'd like to specify SMTP settings is that mails from localhost on port 25 sent out via Postfix would be blocked by most corporate firewalls, but if I specify the server and an alternate port I won't run into that problem.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
