There's the UNIX command sendmail from the terminal. That's
probably your best bet.
I have to defer on it's usage to those who have a better handle on that, though.
In pre-X
As an old time AS user, I would use an OSAX
There are 2 that I am aware of:
1.
"Mail OSAX" is shareware from
Vampire Software FTP site
http://www.vampiresoft.com/Products/Internet/SendMail.html
set SMTP_field to "smtp.mydomain.com"
set To_field to "email@hidden"
set From_field to "email@hidden"
set Subject_field to "This is my subject"
set Body_field to "This is my body"
sendmail using SMTP_field to To_field from From_field with subject Subject_field
with body Body_field
2.
The other is Freeware; "Sendmail OSAX"
Lilback.Com: Software

It was designed to mimic the usage of sendmail -t on UNIX.
I used it in a workflow process for several years and it worked fine.
send email Subject_field & Body_field to To_field from From_field via SMTP_field
