sending email fails with error code 50

[mbatscribe]

Hi,

I am trying to send an email using this script below (took it from the help sample), but it fails with error code 50. Any help to get around this please? $as_body is optional, so whether i use it or not, i get error code 50 in both cases.

================================

#include <INet.au3>

$s_SmtpServer = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx" ;using a valid IP address

$s_FromName = "TEST"

$s_FromAddress = "testing1@test.com" ;using a valid email address

$s_ToAddress = "testing2@test.com" ;using a valid email address

$s_Subject = "Test Results"

;$as_Body = "Testing the auto email"

$Response = _INetSmtpMail ($s_SmtpServer, $s_FromName, $s_FromAddress, $s_ToAddress, $s_Subject)

$err = @error

If $Response = 1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Success!", "Mail sent")

Else

MsgBox(0, "Error!", "Mail failed with error code " & $err)

EndIf

50x - Cannot send body. x indicates the line number of $as_Body (first line is 0).

You are missing an important point of this function:

$as_Body [optional] The body of the email as a single dimensional array of strings. Each value in the array will be terminated with a @CRLF in the email.

It might be optional but it wouldn't hurt to declare an array for the body - the error message is clearly related to the body of the message. What does it happen when you use the script from the help file but change only the server and from/to? Edited April 7, 2011 by enaiman

Hello,

this script works:

Global $oMyRet[2]
Global $oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "MyErrFunc")

#include <_INetSmtpMailCom.au3>

and here the include-File: _INetSmtpMailCom.au3

Try "-1" for option $s_first:

$Response = _INetSmtpMail ($s_SmtpServer, $s_FromName, $s_FromAddress, $s_ToAddress, $s_Subject, $as_Body, @ComputerName, "-1", 0)

As per:

Func _INetSmtpMail($s_SmtpServer, $s_FromName, $s_FromAddress, $s_ToAddress, $s_Subject = "", $as_Body = "", $s_helo = "", $s_first=" ", $b_trace = 0)

Our Exchange server NEEDS the -1 option otherwise a " " (space) is send which returns a 500 instead of a 220. (Had to debug Inet.au3 to get to the bottom of this...)

Hi AutoBert,

Your e-mail code is much better than the iNet option included with AutoIt.  Yours supports file attachments and HTML e-mail, both of which are lacking in the built in function.  I don't know who to ask to get your _InetSMTPMail object in to the main program, but you've got my vote. 

Thanks,

There are a few around here. One of the original that supports attachments was Jos' 

 

and later mLipok created an updated version

Maybe these will be useful to you too.

[Jos]

The posted code in this thread is based on my version, like Mlipok's version is.
I have no issue when somebody transfers that UDF into a version in the standard INET UDF, but am not 100% sure whether MS will keep on supporting that COM version it uses.

Hi Jos,

There's no telling how long anything will be supported by Microsoft.  Since it works and works better than what we have now I see no issue.  Also isn't INET a COM object as well?  I suppose there could be a Win32API version, but I know I had an INET object in VB6 as well. 

Cheers,
Christian
