Arguments

• from: The email address to send the message from
• whoto: The email address to send the message to
• headers: A list of name-value pairs for additional mail headers to send: consult RFC 2822 for further details.
• body: The body of the message.
• server: The hostname or IP address of the SMTP server (this is optional, and localhost will be used if it is not specified).
• port: The TCP port on the server to connect to (this is optional and the standard SMTP port of 25 will be used if it is not specified).

Usage

Sends an email via SMTP as specified in the email.

body = "..."; // text of message goes here
headers = [("X-Mailer","Kaya"),
           ("Subject","Example Message"),
           ("Cc","example2@kayalang.org")];
sendmail("kaya@kayalang.org","example1@kayalang.org",headers,body);

The To, From and Date headers are set automatically and do not need adding to the headers array. Only the body parameter may contain newlines.

An Exception will be thrown if the header values are invalid, the SMTP server is unavailable, or the SMTP server rejects the message.
