_SendSMTPMail UDF using AU3Xtra.dll

SumTingWong · December 21, 2004

Here's an example of how you can use Larry's TCP functions.

You need AU3Xtra.dll of course and latest beta.

Watch out for line wraps...

See version 0.00000002 below!

EDIT1: added @CRLF to the QUIT command

sykes · December 21, 2004

Very slick pacman ... works like a charm

SumTingWong · December 21, 2004

Version 0.00000002

- Added checks and balances based on server responses and return 1 if message sent and 0 if message not sent

- You can now send to multiple recipients by separating their email addresses with a comma in the recipient list.

Again, watch out for line wraps because of my multi-level if/then/else nests. :idiot:

See my latest post for updated version.

file attachment feature would be great !

file attachment feature would be great !
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yea, you will only have do a BASE64 conversion for the files to be attached first. :">

steve8tch · December 21, 2004

I'm going to study that code above - just to learn how the dllcall and socket stuff works - what an amazing bit of code !!! :idiot:

You should include it in the help file as a real life tcp connect example.

Well done - brilliant ..

(recently I have been fileinstalling bmail and sending email with 3 lines of code!! - it works but I didn't learn anything by doing it. :"> )

this-is-me · December 21, 2004

Pacman, I know this is a hard thing to ask, but could you present some sample code on how to set up a SIMPLE webserver with the tcp stuff?

EDIT: Nevermind the previous question, I am going to try making it myself. It looks like one of the simplest things to do.

Yea, It is for my personal use only, so only one connection is enough (me). I intend to do an extremely simple page that can be accessed by my phone with wap and control certain simple things on my system. I know I am opening myself up for a good buffer overflow here, but I think I will be OK since I will only use it a little.

SumTingWong · December 22, 2004

A problem with adding file attachments using AutoIT is that fact that it doesn't support binary files. Can't do a BASE64 conversion if you can't read the file in the first place. :idiot:

@this-is-me - to get you on your way:

I am not sure that I am doing anything wrong, but I am having trouble.

_SendSMTPMail() doesnt seem to work, but it doesnt give any errors?? Could you explain the debug box? (What do different numbers mean?)

I have every field filled in properly. I send the email and the program terminates so I know that it works but I never recieve the email .

My code:

;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
;---*** Begin Declarations ***---
;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Dim $oIP, $oPT, $oPW;Old Values
Dim $nIP, $nPT, $nPW;New Values
Dim $eAddyTo, $eAddyFrom, $serverIP;Email Addresses/Server IP
Dim $eSubject, $eBody;Email Subject, Body
Dim $eDebug;Email Debug variable.

;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
;---*** Main Program Body ***---
;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

;Make IPSend Run on startup.
If Not(RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "IPSend.exe")) Then
    RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "IPSend.exe", "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)
EndIF

;Make sure VNC Server is running.
If Not(ProcessExists("winvnc.exe")) Then
    Run("C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe", "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\")
EndIf

;Set all variables from INI file.
$oIP = INIRead("ipsend.sec", "VNC Info", "oIP", "")
$oPT = INIRead("ipsend.sec", "VNC Info", "oPT", "")
$oPW = INIRead("ipsend.sec", "VNC Info", "oPW", "")
$eAddyTo = INIRead("ipsend.sec", "eAddress", "eAddyTo", "")
$eAddyFrom = INIRead("ipsend.sec", "eAddress", "eAddyFrom", "")
$serverIP = INIRead("ipsend.sec", "eAddress", "serverIP", "")
$eSubject = INIRead("ipsend.sec", "eMail", "eSubject", "")
$eBody = INIRead("ipsend.sec", "eMail", "eBody", "")

;Set all the New Values
$nIP = _GetIP()
$nPT = _GetVNCPort()
$nPW = _GetVNCPass()

;If any new values are different than old values then send them off in an email.
If ($oIP <> $nIP) OR ($oPT <> $nPT) OR ($oPW <> $nPW) Then
    INIWrite("ipsend.sec", "VNC Info", "oIP", $nIP)
    INIWrite("ipsend.sec", "VNC Info", "oPT", $nPT)
    INIWrite("ipsend.sec", "VNC Info", "oPW", $nPW)
    
    $eDebug = _SendSMTPMail($serverIP, $eAddyFrom, $eAddyTo, $eSubject, $eBody)
    MsgBox(0, "_SendSMTPMail() Debug", "Debug: " & $eDebug)
EndIf

Let me know.

This is very interesting. I came from the WinBatch world, but the company I now work for does not use WinBatch, so I decided to throw together an AutoIT solution.

I just implemented an AutoIT application that leverages the Postie email program. It's kinda kludgy, but it is very stable, and works well.

Basically, I needed an automated solution that would look for files in a directory and email those files as attachments to recipients defined within the files. The files are .CSV data files and the first line of each file contains the recipient's email address. these files are generated by SAP and translated into .CSV format using the GENTRAN EDI translator. The resulting files get dropped into a work directory, and a process executes every few minutes that looks for and processes any files.

Here's the basic flow:

1. Start with a "working" directory.

2. Build a list of all files in that directory to process. This part is critical because it gives me a "snapshot" of the files at execution time. That way, any files that may drop into the directory during execution get will processed on the next execution. Everything needs to process, and everything needs to be accounted for.

3. Loop through the file list and process each file as follows:

3.1 Read the first line of the file. The first line contains the recipient's email address.

3.2 Build a complete Postie command string and write it to a batch file in a work directory. The postie command includes the to, from, subject, host, etc. The file being read is included in the Postie command string as an attachment. Almost all parameters are static except for the filename and the recipient. The static parameters are read from a .ini file for easy maintenance.

3.3 Execute the Postie batch file. This actually sends the file.

3.4 Move the data file and the Postie batch files to archive directories. Remember, I am only moving the files in the original file list as well as associated batch files. Any new files will get processed on the next run.

4. loop back to get next filename to process.

Misc:

I revise all filenames to include date and time stamps based on execution time. This aids in tracability.

I added lines in the code to write to log a file at critical points to help with occasional troubleshooting.

My only real problem is that I don't like the idea of having to jump out to execute Postie. At that point, I lose some control over execution status. Yes, Postie can return an error level that is handled by AutoIT, but it's a success / fail status. I cannot tell what errors actually occur if any. Fortunatly, I retain archives of the generated batch files so I can troubleshoot later if needed.

But a full AutoIT solution would be much nicer!

I can upload the sources if you want...

I really appreciate the new code. I am trying to get my program into a full AutoIt solution. Hopefully I can get it working. Before when I was working on this I used BMail and VNCPWDump.exe now I have eliminated one of those and hopefully soon I will eliminate the other if I can ever figure out the C++ code and work it into AutoIt Code.

Thanks Again,

2. Build a list of all files in that directory to process. This part is critical because it gives me a "snapshot" of the files at execution time. That way, any files that may drop into the directory during execution get will processed on the next execution. Everything needs to process, and everything needs to be accounted for.
3. Loop through the file list and process each file as follows:
3.1 Read the first line of the file. The first line contains the recipient's email address.
3.2 Build a complete Postie command string and write it to a batch file in a work directory. The postie command includes the to, from, subject, host, etc. The file being read is included in the Postie command string as an attachment. Almost all parameters are static except for the filename and the recipient. The static parameters are read from a .ini file for easy maintenance.
3.3 Execute the Postie batch file. This actually sends the file.
3.4 Move the data file and the Postie batch files to archive directories. Remember, I am only moving the files in the original file list as well as associated batch files. Any new files will get processed on the next run.
4. loop back to get next filename to process.
Misc:
I revise all filenames to include date and time stamps based on execution time. This aids in tracability.
I added lines in the code to write to log a file at critical points to help with occasional troubleshooting.
My only real problem is that I don't like the idea of having to jump out to execute Postie. At that point, I lose some control over execution status. Yes, Postie can return an error level that is handled by AutoIT, but it's a success / fail status. I cannot tell what errors actually occur if any. Fortunatly, I retain archives of the generated batch files so I can troubleshoot later if needed.
But a full AutoIT solution would be much nicer!
I can upload the sources if you want...

I am not sure that this _SendSMTPMail() will send attachments therefore this probably isnt the exact AutoIt solution you are looking for. I will comment more in the morning on an Edit line for this post you have made. I would agree that you should use as much of a full AutoIt solution as possible. Possibly using another email program.

Have you created the complete rest of the application?

Why are you still using batch files or is that from the postie? (What is a postie?)

Just a couple of things off the top of my head. I will get more into it tomorrow when I can think about it more clearly :-P For now I need sleep.

This UDF is only useful for small text messages. If you want to send large messages and attachments then you are better off sticking with external mail senders.

hey its not working on my machine ur code have problem i think and it also not displaying any status

i made few changes in ur code help me to display mail status or open like cmd or gui

$aRcptList = "snip"
$sSender = "snip"
$sServer = "mx4.mail.yahoo.com"
$sSubject = "TEST MAIL"
TCPStartup()
$hSocket = TCPConnect(TCPNameToIP($sServer), 25)
If $hSocket <> -1 Then
Sleep(100)
$sData = TCPRecv($hSocket, 1024)
If StringLeft($sData, 3) = "220" Then
Sleep(100)
$sData = "HELO " & @ComputerName & @CRLF

If TCPSend($hSocket, $sData) > 0 Then
Sleep(100)
$sData = TCPRecv($hSocket, 1024)
If StringLeft($sData, 3) = "250" Then
Sleep(100)
$sData = "MAIL FROM: <" & $sSender & ">" & @CRLF

If TCPSend($hSocket, $sData) > 0 Then
Sleep(100)

I have yet to get it working properly as well. It doesnt give me any errors, but I never get any of the test messages I have sent. I may just script something for bmail.exe like I did before.

Have you tried manually sending a message on your SMTP server?

Follow these steps:

1. telnet <yoursmtpserver> 25

e.g: telnet mailserver 25

If your SMTP server is working correctly, you should see a welcome message.

2. send HELO <yourcomputername>

e.g: HELO mypc01

You should get a reply beginning with 250 from the server. If you don't get anything back, it could be that you need to turn on local echo.

3. send MAIL FROM: <senderemailaddress>

e.g: MAIL FROM: <me@mydomain.com>

Unlike steps 1 and 2, <senderemailaddress> must be enclosed inside <>. You should get a reply beginning with 250

4. send RCPT TO: <recipientemailaddress>

e.g: RCPT TO: <you@yourdomain.com>

<recipientemailaddress> must be enclosed inside <>. You should get a reply beginning with 250

5. send DATA

e.g: DATA

You should get a reply beginning with 354

6. send To: <recipient>

e.g: To: you@yourdomain.com

7. send From: <sender>

e.g: From: me@mydomain.com

8. send Subject: <subject>

e.g: Subject: This is a test

9. send Date: <date>

e.g: Date: 04/06/2005 12:23:45

10. send your message

11. at the end of your message send a RETURN and a FULLSTOP and another RETURN. You should get a reply beginning with 250 to indicate that your message has been sent.

It goes without saying that each time you send a command, you should press RETURN. Most SMTP mail servers, if they are correctly configured, will not relay messages so you must enter a valid sender email address.

These are the exact steps that the UDF carries out so if you can do it manually, then the UDF should work.

I got your PM but thought I would post my reply here in case other people have the same problem as you.

If you don't get a welcome message when you telnet your smtp server on port 25 then either it's not working or you are telnetting an incorrect server address.

If you get a welcome message but no response from the server when you send the first HELO command then you need to turn on telnet localecho. Assuming you are using the built-in Windows telnet client, do:

1. Start, Run, telnet

2. At the Microsoft Telnet prompt, type in

set localecho

3. Then

quit

Now try using telnet again.
