Send email using Blat

[DigDeep]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong here.

I am able to run the Blat Install successfully but email part does not work.

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "blat -install smtp.SERVER ADDRESS " & @UserName & "@DOMAIN ADDRESS 3 25 - - - -", "", @SW_HIDE)

Local $SMTPADD = "smtp.SERVER ADDRESS"
Local $SUBJECT = "Test"
Local $TO = "TO ADDRESS"
Local $f = "FROM ADDRESS"
Local $body = "This is a Test message"
Local $log = "log.txt"

RunWait("blat.exe -server """ & $SMTPADD & """ -s """ & $SUBJECT & """ -body """ & $body & """ -t """ & $TO & """ -f """ & $f & """ -log """ & $log & """", "", @SW_HIDE)

I don't know Blat but I think you need to use single quotes around the entire expression inside the parenthesis instead of double quotes.  Use double quotes inside the singles.  Also, RunWait might work (do you need the wait part?) but I would also look at ShellExecute.

did you try ShellExecuteWait ?

And with the full path of blat.exe ?

well, I even tried with below changes but it still does not sends email.

Run(@WindowsDir & "\blat.exe -to " & $TO & " -subject " & $SUBJECT & " -body " & $body & " -server " & $SMTPADD & " -f " & $f)

Can you write that string to console just before you try to send it?

Do something like this:

Local $mycommandline = @WindowsDir & "\blat.exe -to " & $TO & " -subject " & $SUBJECT & " -body " & $body & " -server " & $SMTPADD & " -f " & $f
ConsoleWrite($mycommandline & @CRLF)

Just before the Run() command. I would like to see how AutoIt interprets your varaibles.

Your variables have no spaces after them ... so the flags would be appended like this:

TO ADDRESS-subject

Edit: or maybe the flags have spaces but they are hard to see - I agree with @Skysnake - look at the string first.  Also, have you tried with ShellExecute?

Use @Comspec & " /K blat.exe ..." and remove @SW_HIDE, it will allow you to see the output result.

Ah! made such a silly mistake... In the FROM ADDRESS, I gave username.Domain.com instead of username@domain.com.

I corrected this and it is working now.

 

Thanks all.
