With some thought, the batch file isn’t needed. You can create an exe for the batch so the password is never stored, just keyboard entry as a parameter, something along the line of
Callblat.exe myname mypassword
Callblat would parse the login and have stored the other parameters

Subject: Re: [blat] Installation of Blat
I recommend not installing it at all but instead specifying sendmail
server and login specifics, return email address, and destination email
address in the command line when you call Blat.
That would mean including:
-to (destination email address)
-server (server URL)
-u (SMTP account username)
-pw (SMTP account password)
-f (from email address)
I also recommend Blat.exe be copied to a user-created folder, not a
Windows system folder. I found this with the above settings resolved
various security issues as regarding using Blat, starting with Windows
version 8. It also works perfectly well on Windows XP, Vista and 7 as
well as Windows Server 2008; 32 and 64 bit systems.
