_INetSmtpMail and @error 4

[arcker]

ok i want to use this function to send email to users of my firm by script

our smtp server doesn't require authlogin

we used the "blat.exe" before, but i want to use autoit now

when i launch the command to test, i've en @error 4

do you have any ideas ?

@ERROR = 4 - Unable to create socket

thx

[jpm]

difficult to help you without a part of the script you are using :">

[bboysza]

I think it's dying here:

$v_Socket = TCPConnect($s_IPAddress, 25)
    If $v_Socket = -1 Then
        TCPShutdown()
        SetError(4)
        Return (0)
    EndIf

taken from inet.au3

I have no difficulty to understand where the error=4 is set but I cannot help without the script used to call _INetSmtpMail

[arcker]

hello jpm,

i've just tried the example for now

$s_SmtpServer = "172.20.0.2"
$s_Helo="HELO"; incase needed
$s_FromName = "testname"
$s_FromAddress = "my@email.com"
$s_ToAddress = "my@email.com"
$s_Subject = "Testing"
Dim $s_Body[2]
$s_Body[0] = "Testing the new email udf"
$s_Body[1] = "Second Line"
$Response = _INetSmtpMail($s_SmtpServer, $s_FromName, $s_FromAddress, $s_ToAddress)
$err = @error
If $Response = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Success!", "Mail sent")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Error!", "Mail failed with error code " & $err)
EndIf

and here is the log when i try with blat (i've hidden personnal information)

Use the b_trace parameter to have a log of what AutoIt is sending/receiving.

The tests I did was only with a smtp server receiving HELO.

Perhaps yours need EHLO

You can search on the forum the thread I was in for debugging this UDF and use EtherReal to trace all the dialog in case of b_trace is not enough.

Good luck.

I was difficult to have the current state working That's all I can say.

[arcker]

it's really strange because i've just test the function "tcpconnect", and it returns an error when i want to connect to port 25, and not on 80 for example

the problem is here, because when i will be able to connect to this port, i think the rest will follow

[GaryFrost]

Thought I would give this a try, it appears i'm connecting ok, but when it gets to the body it errors out

The HELO and intermediate has been x'd out for security reasons

Any ideas?

08:08:00 HELO XXXXXXX
08:08:00 HELO XXXXXXX
08:08:00 intermediate->220 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SMTP; Fri, 24 Feb 20
08:08:00 HELO XXXXXXX
08:08:00 intermediate->220 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SMTP; Fri, 24 Feb 20
08:08:00 2 <- 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.
08:08:00 HELO XXXXXXX
08:08:00 intermediate->220 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SMTP; Fri, 24 Feb 20
08:08:00 2 <- 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.
08:08:00 <-> 250

I need the parameter used when calling _InetSmtpMail.

What is send is highly depending on them.

JUst XXX the parameter you don't want to be seen in the post.

[GaryFrost]

#include <INet.au3>

$s_SmtpServer = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
$s_FromName = "Gary Frost"
$s_FromAddress = "Gary.Frost@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$s_ToAddress = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$s_Subject = "My Test UDF"
Dim $as_Body[2]
$as_Body[0] = "Testing the new email udf"
$as_Body[1] = "Second Line"
$Response = _INetSmtpMail ($s_SmtpServer, $s_FromName, $s_FromAddress, $s_ToAddress, $s_Subject, $as_Body, "", " ", 1)
$err = @error
If $Response = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Success!", "Mail sent")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Error!", "Mail failed with error code " & $err)
EndIf

I know the smpt mail works here I use it in apps daily thru perl scripts, don't know if it will help but here's the perl sub that works

sub Send_EMail_Via_SMTP #- Req = Net::SMTP
{
    my ($mailsvr, $user, $recipient, $mail_subj, $body) = @_;
    my ($smtp) = Net::SMTP->new($mailsvr) || return 1;
    Log("**** Sending E-Mail ****");
    $smtp->mail($user);
    $smtp->to($recipient);
    $smtp->data();
    $smtp->datasend("To: $recipient\n");
    $smtp->datasend("Subject: $mail_subj\n");
    $smtp->datasend("$body\n");
    $smtp->dataend();
    $smtp->quit;
    select (undef, undef, undef, 3);
}

I imagine your perl stuff work but that does not help to understand why _InetSmtpMail is not working in a specific case.

Does the AutoIT script above is working. I have difficulty to help

[arcker]

is there another way to send e-mail instead of establish the connection to port 25 using tcp connect ?

blat just send the message without establish a connection before, so how to do it with autoit, to force the message ?

I think it is doing the same with the right parameters

[arcker]

i know, but the function tcpconnect doesn't work, and that's a fact, and i don't know why, i don't know so much on tcp protocol

if you have an idea of a workaround, please tell me

to help you you need to do as Wooltown did to debug it's connection.

see this topic

You will took a lot of effort for something I didn't write.

Basically I need the script you are using and the trace with etherreal free tool

Good luck

[arcker]

i've tried with ethereal, and what is really strange is that he didn't record anything when i try tcpconnect with port 25...really strange

but when i try with port 80, ok no problem, but 80 is for the web site, it was just a verification

so, i would think that even if the port 25 is blocked or another, it would return something in ethereal, and i've nothing, just some arp packets a lot

i will retry tomorrow, but for now i've missed

[arcker]

here is the "superdebug" with blat

so his connection to 172.20.0.2 port 25 successful

so why tcpconnect ("172.20.0.2",25) doesn't work ?

Post the script or PM me it so I can see the arguments you are using with _InetSmtpMail.

It could be you are not sending EHLO but HELO.
