VB/AutoIt Script Sending An Email

[russdev]

Anyone got a script that will send an email using external smtp server (not a smtp relay sever so the script has to login in). Idea the script will be run by user if they see a problem with the computer they are on.

The script will then ask for input about issue then it send support an email with machine name, user logged in and info they entered.

Can do most of the script it is the email part hitting a brick wall with..

AutoIt has a _INetSmtpMail function which allows you to specify the SMTP server. The requirement for logging in is usually dependant on the mail server you use and how it's configured.

@webman; Thanks the logging into server point was just so people knew it wasn't a relay.

Something like this (where you add the GUI which asks for the username and password??)

Credit goes to Jos on the AutoIt forum.



$SmtpServer = "post.rmplc.co.uk" ; address for the smtp-server to use - REQUIRED
$FromName = "Display Name" ; name from who the email was sent
$FromAddress = "from@emailaddress.com" ; address from where the mail should come
$ToAddress = "to@emailaddress.com" ; destination address of the email - REQUIRED
$Subject = "Subject line" ; subject from the email - can be anything you want it to be
$Body = "Message Body" ; the messagebody from the mail - can be left blank but then you get a blank mail
$AttachFiles = ($Varfile) ; the file you want to attach- leave blank if not needed
$CcAddress = "" ; address for cc - leave blank if not needed
$BccAddress = "" ; address for bcc - leave blank if not needed
$Importance = "Normal" ; Send message priority: "High", "Normal", "Low"
$Username = "myemail@mydomain.ext" ; username for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED
$Password = "mypassword" ; password for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED
$IPPort = 25 ; port used for sending the mail
$ssl = 0 ; enables/disables secure socket layer sending - put to 1 if using httpS
