Help with SMTP mail

April 18, 2013

Let me start by saying this was working. We just migrated from Novel Groupwise to Exchange.

On Groupwise the following worked to send mail...

#include <_INetSmtpMailCom.au3>
Global $SmtpServer = "111.22.33.44" ; address for the smtp-server to use - REQUIRED
Global $FromName = "Test Server" ; name from who the email was sent
Global $FromAddress = "Help-Desk@nomail.com" ; address from where the mail should come
Global $ToAddress = "recipient@nomail.com" ; destination address of the email - REQUIRED
Global $Subject = "TESTING" ; subject from the email - can be anything you want it to be
Global $Body = "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system." ; the messagebody from the mail - can be left blank but then you get a blank mail
Global $AttachFiles = "" ; the file you want to attach- leave blank if not needed
Global $CcAddress = "" ; address for cc - leave blank if not needed
Global $BccAddress = "" ; address for bcc - leave blank if not needed
Global $Importance = "Normal" ; Send message priority: "High", "Normal", "Low"
Global $Username = "user" ; username for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED
Global $Password = "pass" ; password for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED
Global $IPPort = 25 ; port used for sending the mail
Global $ssl = 0 ; enables/disables secure socket layer sending - put to 1 if using httpS
;~ $IPPort=465                       ; GMAIL port used for sending the mail
;~ $ssl=1                            ; GMAILenables/disables secure socket layer sending - put to 1 if using httpS

$rc = _INetSmtpMailCom($SmtpServer, $FromName, $FromAddress, $ToAddress, $Subject, $Body, $AttachFiles, $CcAddress, $BccAddress, $Importance, $Username, $Password, $IPPort, $ssl)

Since the switch to exchange the above code yields the attached error.

I don't know if it is relevant or not, but previously SMTP traffic was sent to the "gwia" server. Since the switch to Exchange I was instructed to send SMTP traffic to the iis server.

Before anyone jumps on the 'Exchange/iis isn't configured properly bandwagon' I would like to point out that the following code DOES work with Exchange...

$sUser = "";YourEmail
$sPass = "" ;YourPassword
$sServer = "smtp.live.com"
$sFrom = "";YourEmail

The problem I have with the above code is that it does NOT allow me to attach files.

As a side note, I have tried the OutlookEx UDF which does work. However, it sends the mail from my account and I need to be able to send the mail from specific email address.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer to continue using _INetSmtpMailCom.au3 if possible.

Run the script uncompiled to see where the error is coming from.

April 18, 2013

Uncompiled yields error at line 81

Which looks like it corresponds to $objEmail.Send in _INetSmtpMailCom.au3

Can you please add a COM error handler to your script so we get more detailed error information? Have a look at the help file for function ObjEvent.

Can you please add a COM error handler to your script so we get more detailed error information? Have a look at the help file for function ObjEvent.

_INetSmtpMailCom.au3 already had a COM error handler in it. The output was in the attachment on my first post.

I did go to the help file and replaced the existing COM error handler in _INetSmtpMailCom.au3 with the one from help.

The output looks like it has the same info to me. See attached screen shot

Line 86 referenced in the error corresponds to

$objEmail.Send

in the _INetSmtpMailCom function

The transport error code can have multiple reasons. One of them being account information (username/domain/password) is incorrect

As you migrated to Exchange server, do you have Outlook installed on the clients?

Can you also show the code in "_INetSmtpMailCom.au3" ?

Yes, Outlook is installed on client PCs

myErrFunc was the original error handler in _INetSmtpMailCom.au3

Do you actually have a username and password filled in? or tried without it as that shouldn't be needed?

Jos

I've tried it with and without.

April 18, 2013

mmm strange. just for the heck of it try this line to call the UDF:

$rc = _INetSmtpMailCom($SmtpServer, $FromName, $FromAddress, $ToAddress, $Subject, $Body)

Jos

April 18, 2013

As an alternative you could try my OutlookEX UDF to send emails.

April 18, 2013

One other thing to find out is if/how authentication is configured on your exchange server. When SMTP requires authentication, you also need to find out whether it is Basic or NTLM.

The current UDF uses Basic. To try NTLM just fill in the porper username and password and change this line:

$objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 2

Hi.

Take a LAN trace, (wireshark), set the filter "tcp.port==25" and see, what's going on packet side.
try start, run, "telnet ipaddres-your-mail-system 25", helo some.domain, mail from: <test@test.de>, rcpt to <john@theripper.com>, data, test, test, test, .,
the above has to "include" the "<" and ">", every comma = RETURN
My personal suggestion: Use Blat.[exe|dll], it simply works

Regards, Rudi.
