What is blat?

Blat is a concise and streamlined SMTP command-line mailer designed for the Windows operating system. It serves as the SMTP sending component within an Email User Agent (MUA) or Email client, enabling users to send emails via SMTP (or internet email) directly from the command line or through CGI scripts. Blat is particularly beneficial for creating automated scripts where the programmatic sending of emails is necessary, such as in CGI applications, backup routines, and other similar use cases. To utilize Blat, users must have access to an SMTP server via TCP-IP connectivity
