Thanks Alain,
I'm not that modern and didn't know what the powershell was.
I googled a bit and found this: http://serverfault.com/questions/110057/easiest-way-to-send- an-email-from-the-command-line-using-windows-2003-r2
where a one line spawn command is given:

To make a one liner, save the following to a powershell script file (sendmail.ps1):

param(
[string] $From = "from@example.com",
[string] $To = "to@example.com",
[string] $Title = "title",
[string] $Body = "body"
)
$SmtpClient = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
$SmtpServer = "your.mail.host.com"
$SmtpClient.host = $SmtpServer
$SmtpClient.Send($From,$To,$Title,$Body)

and then call the powershell:
powershell.exe c:\path\to\sendmail.ps1 "from@example.com" "to@example.com" "title" "body"

Just have to sort out the credentials (user and pwd)...

Cheers,
Helder
