See the discussions on this topic that can be found in the mailing list archives.

And to be more specific, for example:

<http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2005/4/24/133730>

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.
