I think the best thing I can say is don't. You'll waste everyone's bandwidth and you'll see many people's email just bouncing it back for one or another reason. Mail out just a link to the users instead. Anyway, if you really want to get this done the way you're saying and the pdf generation is in php, read this article - http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/sendmimeemailpart1.php - and then run php from the command line. That way not much of your code has to chane. if you're generating the pdf in perl, you're better off writing a perl script to keep things consistent. You can run Mime::Lite to get attachments. See http://www.akadia.com/services/email_attachments_using_perl.html#Email%20attachments%20using%20Perl%20/%20MIME::Lite Peter.
