Thank you so much for your help!

I don't need attachmentshere since it is a commit reporting utility, just
listing what was committed and the message entered.

I have now retrieved the synapse package sources (using SVN from SourceForge)
and compiled in Lazarus.
So I am now making a test program to only prove that the mail server I must use
will play balls and accept the postings.

A few more questions:

1) Is there a way to set the mail property "Reply-to" when using synapse?
There might be a case when the sender of an email (the From address) has to be
the account owner and I want to make sure that those that receive the message
can reply to it and get to the actual person making the SVN commit.
It does not appear to be that way here:

function SendToEx(const MailFrom, MailTo, Subject, SMTPHost: string; const
MailData: TStrings; const Username, Password: string): Boolean;

I assume MailData is the mail body...

2) How can I add Bcc recipients?
