Download the source and take a look at condor_mail/main.cpp
Sorry, that's how I worked it out. I believe there is a message
floating around in the archives which detailed it (albeit from an
older source).

A-ha the wonders of google mail it's one of mine:

==================
$MAIL -s $SUBJECT [-relay $SMTP_SERVER] ADR1 [ADR2] [ADR3] ...[ADRn]

Where $MAIL is your MAIL parameter. and ADRx is the address list
(guaranteed to be at least one)

-relay SMTP_SERVER only applies on windows so you shouldn't get it passed to you

Then your mailer should accept the body of the email on it's stdin (I
don't know my C well enough to determine if you are meant to spot a
null on the stream as end of message or detect your stdin closed).

Various variables are inserted into the environment for use by the
process such as LOGNAME - since these are not documented in anyway I
suggest you do not rely on them.

This is from a very quick scan of the code - someone might correct any
glaring errors I have made I hope :)
==================

Hope that helps
