Ruby email with authentication and attachments

#!/usr/bin/ruby

smtp_auth.rb

This is the Linux version - on windows add gems and use tmail in Rails

directory

–attach1=“ReleaseNotes_Servers.doc”
–attach2=“ReleaseNotes_Clients.doc”
–attach3="ReleaseNotes_Web.

-h,–host=addr SMTP server address. (default=imap.nexatech.com)
