Send mail via SMTP

This function will collect all export files (created by other export functions from the current batch) and forward them as e-mail attachment(s).

An external SMTP-Server is used for mail transmission, the resulting e-mail will therefore be sent directly and without further interaction.

Please note: Since mail transmission will always be invoked on the CROSSCAP Enterprise server, the Send mail option (usually available on CROSSCAP Scan-Clients and utilizing a client-PC's mail client) is disabled, in a CROSSCAP Enterprise environment.

This changes the sequence in which the options are executed (processing will proceed from the top of the list).
