Send Mail from Command Line?

Well, I do programming and yes, I can code a smtp mail program to run on a command line how ever, it still requires a user name and password to send. There is information stored in the registry that helps you with this how ever, not every uses Outlook since it is very week.

In any case, if you can supply this info then it would be easy to encode that on the command line. something like. sendmail ,,,,,,.....

I have a son who can do that, and he can spell correctly ;-)

I was just looking for an off-the-shelf product.

This sounds like it would work.....

This is a simple program that seems to work okay. If your smtp server requires authentication it might bother you that the password is stored in plaintext in the ini file.

Free trial version for download.

Hi Jim,

look for a command line program that uses MAPI to make Eudora send mail.

I have one that complemented something I do a lot

pkzip ddmmyy.zip somefiles cemail ddmmyy.zip someone_@_somewhere_.com

nowadays I tend to use winzip and then winzip's Mail Archive menu item, this also uses MAPI to drive your own email client.

blat is the program of choice

And it's free. Only problem is the latest version (2.6.2) has a bug in which, if you run it from a scheduled task while the user is not logged on, it doesn't work. Version 2.6.1 has no problem that I ever saw, and I run it every day on a dozen PCs and servers.

Well, most are and chances are you are, too :)

Windows from 2k on and Linux come with an SMTP server.

To send outside of my local network I need to login to my ISP's server, or an independent server such as GoDaddy (which I use).

Hi Spehro, I need to set PORT number other than standard, but can find nothing in the manual for how to set port.

...Jim Thompson

Nothing in manual, but added line is INI file "Port=wxyz", then it works.

...Jim Thompson

I got it working by adding a "PORT=" line in the INI file.

Now I have all my bells and whistles working for E-mail redirection to my cell phone. Text message beeps me to login and check my E-mail ;-)

...Jim Thompson

I don't see that option either. Hmm.. looks like a residential address.

I see you got your problem solved already, but just out of curiosity... If you can connect with SMTP to GoDaddy (I assume this means that your ISP lets port 25 through), why can't you have a local SMTP server do the delivery?

Gerhard

My ISP (Cox) DOES NOT allow connections to other servers via Port 25, or to Cox' servers from non-Cox origination points.

So I connect to GoDaddy's SMTP relay via another port.

The big advantage is that I can access GoDaddy from anywhere.

...Jim Thompson

Mine doesn't either. So, I use port 587 and it worketh just fine ;-)

Adelphia, oops Comcast, servers don't either. The ATT business Internet POP servers allow access from outside the AT&T network though. I have Individual.net for Usenet because I can get to their servers from either (or work, back when that mattered;).

I have AT&T, formerly SBC. Roughly a couple years ago they blocked port

1. Of course out of the blue without prior warning. So I switched it to the alternative port.

even if the don't let 25 through you can still have local smtp, just tell your server to authenticate and send via your ISPs server.

Bye. Jasen

Or just use port 587 instead.
