DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

I'm trying to figure out the /usr/sbin/email executable.    I'd like to use it in my cron script to notify me when a job is done... but i can't figure out the syntax.  It's used by the web gui to send notification emails, and i think is a nonstandard app.

# email -h
email: option requires an argument -- h
email v1.02.02212006
usage: email -m mode [-s Saddr] [-d Daddr] [-h HostServer] [-p port] 
             [-a auth] [-u uname] [-w passwd] [-i interval] [-t test]
             [-c capacity] [-f free]

I tried piping a test message to it using sender/destination address, smpt host and port... which is all i should need, but nothing get's sent... and there is no diagnostic message.

There is an /etc/email.conf file... but doens't reveal much.

Does anyone know if i can use this to send e-mails out ?  or should i look at compiling an alternative... if so, any suggestions what app i should use that would work best with the DNS-323 ?

Would the ssmtp app as part of the busybox tinyutils be better ? 

Thanks in advance...
