  No provided source code? Is this 1990?

  >> It runs on every platform we can think of (Windows 64bit, Linux 32 & 64 Bit, Raspberry Pi!)

  How would I go about running the binary on OS X? I assume it's possible? Thanks...

  In a similar vein but open source is ssmtp. It's a simple MTA that hands off the dirty work of sending e-mail to a real mailserver, and can be configured to use your existing SMTP server as a bounce point, or if you're running a personal server, your gmail account.

  I'm not clear as to why anyone thought this tool was needed or was any more complex than a simple script. This functionality is built in to most platforms.
