And to be more specific, for example:

Thanks, these and other archive searches only showed that no-one had
got further than me; i.e. it appeared that the user needed to have at
least one account in Mail.app. I've found that they at least don't
need to be physically logged in at the console which is
something...however it would be nice if the application (or some
global config like a /Network/Library, /System/Library or /Library
setting) could provide a "if there's no per-user SMTP configuration,
stick this one in your pipe and smoke it" dictionary. It currently
seems like there's no reliable way to do email from headless Cocoa
without (i)enabling a local smtpd [seems like a bit of overkill and a
potential security risk] (ii)having a 'real' user set up a Mail.app
account for the desired uid [see note to (i)] (iii)opening a socket
to a remote mail server and sending data thus [so much for "simple
things simple"...].
Another method I found was to construct a mailto: URL, which is even
worse for my purposes (it requires a real user, currently logged in,
currently able and willing to hit 'send', and to have not fubared
their account's mailto: handler settings).
Thanks again,
Graham.
