Send email with files

[luis713]

Hello everybody, I'm trying to send mails from my script and it works, but the problem is when I try to send an email from a new location I got an error related to less safe apps of gmail, I enabled it but I'm planning to let the users send emails with files, I tried blat but couldn't understand how it works, and I was looking for a free smtp, any ideas? My objective is allow users send me files, I was thinking let users type their gmail accounts with password but most of users wouldn't trust, any suggestions? or is there a way to allow gmail work in all locations?

Hi @luis713

Did you already take a look at Outlook UDF or at this post?

.. or use the __InetSmtpMailCom() UDF available in Examples when you want to use Gmail without having outlook.

if I use that function won't I get the error from gmail about less secure locations or something like that, when you log in in a new location?

The warnings are from the Goggle Side, not the Clients side, so that is controlled in Google.
When you have two factor authentication enabled, you need to generate a separate password for this batch process, which can be done in your gmail config.

I want to allow users send me files by email, I will provide in the script a file and password, but you know locations will be different from each user and gmail blocks new atempts to log in from new locations, this script skips this protection? I don't think any script will do it, I'm thinking about using a service like www.transfer.sh but the same problem pops up because I need a mail to be notified

can you provide me a link please Jos about it?

thanks @FrancescoDiMuro but the link redirects to this post, could you fix it please?

@luis713
It is linking to this thread because Jos already pointed you out to the UDF he was talking about.
By the way, here you have the SMTP Mailer UDF that Jos was mentioning above

Thanks, I'll work in the script right now and tomorrow when I reach a new computer I'll try it because I'm able to send mails from my computer but unable to send from new computers. Thanks both
