Weston,
I wrote something years ago using a free SMTP program from the iSeries  
magazine as the e-mail sender. The nightly job would issue the email  
from a custom database that captured the UPS/FEDEX/Bill-of-Lading  
number retrieved from the shipping add-on.

The primary challenge is where are you storing the email addresses for  
the customers. My email database stores not only unlimited email  
addresses for each address type (customer; ship-to; vendor; etc.) but  
also which document that address is supposed to receive (order  
acknowledgement; ASN; invoice; EFT Remittance; etc.).
