Forum OpenACS Q&A: Recommended method to send email from within OpenACS

I am working on some code that will need to send emails. I don't want to duplicate all the functionality that's already in OpenACS, so what's the package or recommended way to send email within OpenACS 5.x?

Should I use acs-mail?

Thank you in advance

Argh! It's 2AM here in Oz ... should have known better that this topic had probably already been covered.

Sorry
