Default Turn-Notifiy-eMail & Hibernation/WOL & WinXP

This is a technical question: Suppose I turned an ordinary WinXP machine into a Dom2 Server. How can I automatically send an eMail to somewhere whenever a turn is generated?

Dom2 knows the "--postexec" command. Can I use this on WinXP as well? With the graphicless dom2 server? (i.e. "dom2 GameName -S --port 12345 -q -T --postexec notify.bat")

However, WinXP does not know a "mailto" command unlike Linux. Are there command-line mailing tools for windows? Is there one which is capable of SMTP-Authentication as well? (I only have ordinary eMail accounts available for sending email).

(PS: I know, the Gods-Eye tool is very nice and helpful, but in this case it is useless: my server requires Wake-On-Lan and 2 minutes to awake from hibernation, hence sending an eMail after each turn to notify players would be really preferable.)
