Smtp Mailer That Supports Html And Attachments.

[Leopardfist]

I had one of my friends install the CDO API from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1004

After that he STILL got the COM Error .

That's why additional error information provided by a COM error handler and more detailed information about the OS your friends use is needed.

Yes, I just am not sure how to do that. I tried by adding the following line of code into my function, right by the other error IF statement that calls the error function.

If @error Then MsgBox(48 + 262144, "COM Error", "@error is set to COM error number." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error)

Will that suffice?

Use this as COM error handler (taken from he example in objEvent from the help file):

Func MyErrFunc($oError)
    MsgBox(0, "COM error", "err.number is: " & @TAB & $oError.number & @CRLF & _
            "err.windescription:" & @TAB & $oError.windescription & @CRLF & _
            "err.description is: " & @TAB & $oError.description & @CRLF & _
            "err.source is: " & @TAB & $oError.source & @CRLF & _
            "err.helpfile is: " & @TAB & $oError.helpfile & @CRLF & _
            "err.helpcontext is: " & @TAB & $oError.helpcontext & @CRLF & _
            "err.lastdllerror is: " & @TAB & $oError.lastdllerror & @CRLF & _
            "err.scriptline is: " & @TAB & $oError.scriptline & @CRLF & _
            "err.retcode is: " & @TAB & $oError.retcode)
EndFunc

            "err.retcode is: " & @TAB & $oError.retcode)
EndFunc

OK, added that function, but exactlyt how do I call it, as it has the oError datatype thingy.

My basic email function is below:

Func mEmailer($e_Sender, $e_Recipient, $e_CcAddress, $e_Subject, $e_Text)
    ; Info for this function by JdeB = http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=23860&view=findpost&p=166575
    $oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "MyErrFunc")
    $objMessage = ObjCreate("CDO.Message")
    With $objMessage
        .Subject = $e_Subject
        .Sender = $e_Sender
        .From = $e_Sender
        .To = $e_Recipient
        .Cc = $e_CcAddress
        .TextBody = $e_Text
    EndWith
    With $objMessage.Configuration.Fields
        .Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
        .Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = $smtpserver
        .Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
        .Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = $sendusername
        .Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = $sendpassword
        .Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
        .Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60
        .Update
    EndWith
    $objMessage.Send
    If @error Then MsgBox(48 + 262144, "COM Error", "@error is set to COM error number." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & @CRLF & "Error = " & $oMyError)
    If @error Then MyErrFunc()
    $oMyError = ""
    $objMessage = ""
EndFunc   ;==>mEmailer

In my function it simply calls MyErrFunc() with no arguements. What should I use for the arguement? The @Error or the $oMyError variable from the first line code:

$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "MyErrFunc")

Thank you for the help, and I am sorry for my lack of skill in this .

This is the error info he got from the handler.

Transport failed to connect to the server

2147352567

source=cdo.message.1

scriptline = -1

ret code 2147220973

 

 

By the way, the user is NOT using a firewall at all.

If you search the forum for this error message ("Transport failed to connect to the server") you will find some hits.

The problem may be caused by the configuration you use (smtpserver, SSL etc.)

[Leopardfist]

Yeah, I appreciate the attention water, but I'm really at a loss here. it works fine for me on my computer, but my friends get errors. We are all three running the same operating system, one of the two doesnt run any security software at all, not even windows firewall. 

I am at a loss why it works fine and reliably with me and not them. I also had them both (just in case) install that microsoft package in case they didnt have outlook or anything with it. 

At this point I am very frustrated. All I need is a simple mail program, no attachments, just a TO, COPY, FROM, SUBJECT & MESSAGE. Think I am going to try something else, something a little more stable.

How about blat? Blat is a Windows (32 & 64 bit) command line utility that sends eMail using SMTP or post to usenet using NNTP.

[Leopardfist]

Think I may try a different email address (SMTP server) than godaddy for this function, can you reccommend one you KNOW works? Keep inmind, I am using a modified version of this that is in XProTec.

[water]

I've never used this script by Jos or any other SMTP script. I run MS Outlook to send mails.

hehe, trying to have my program send the email from customers system, Outlook is not really an option.

[Leopardfist]

Would the fact that my smtp server is on a Linux server be an issue? since CDO is windows based?

[BrewManNH]

It doesn't matter what the server is running, it matters where the script is running. Gmail works with this UDF so Linux wouldn't be an issue.

Quick question,
 
Can anyone explain why this does not work:

Global $SmtpServer = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "SmtpServer", Default)      ; address for the smtp-server to use - REQUIRED
Global $FromName = "MIERT: " & "Computer = " & @ComputerName & "Logon Name = " & @UserName      ; name from who the email was sent
Global $FromAddress = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "FromAddress", Default)    ; address from where the mail should come
Global $ToAddress = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "ToAddress", Default)        ; destination address of the email - REQUIRED
Global $Subject = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "Subject", Default)            ; subject from the email - can be anything you want it to be
Global $Body                                                                    ; the messagebody from the mail - can be left blank but then you get a blank mail
Global $AttachFiles = @ScriptDir & IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "AttachFiles", Default)    ; the file(s) you want to attach seperated with a ; (Semicolon) - leave blank if not needed
Global $CcAddress = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "CcAddress", Default)        ; address for cc - leave blank if not needed
Global $BccAddress = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "BccAddress", Default)      ; address for bcc - leave blank if not needed
Global $Importance = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "Importance", Default)      ; Send message priority: "High", "Normal", "Low"
Global $Username = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "Username", Default)          ; username for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED
Global $Password = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "Password", Default)          ; password for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED
Global $IPPort = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "IPPort", Default)              ; port used for sending the mail
Global $ssl = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "ssl", Default)                    ; enables/disables secure socket layer sending - put to 1 if using httpS

If I hardcode the data into the script it works as in the OPs example:

$SmtpServer = "MailServer"              ; address for the smtp-server to use - REQUIRED
$FromName = "Name"                      ; name from who the email was sent
$FromAddress = "your@Email.Address.com" ; address from where the mail should come
$ToAddress = "your@Email.Address.com"   ; destination address of the email - REQUIRED
$Subject = "Userinfo"                   ; subject from the email - can be anything you want it to be
$Body = ""                              ; the messagebody from the mail - can be left blank but then you get a blank mail
$AttachFiles = ""                       ; the file(s) you want to attach seperated with a ; (Semicolon) - leave blank if not needed
$CcAddress = "CCadress1@test.com"       ; address for cc - leave blank if not needed
$BccAddress = "BCCadress1@test.com"     ; address for bcc - leave blank if not needed
$Importance = "Normal"                  ; Send message priority: "High", "Normal", "Low"
$Username = "******"                    ; username for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED
$Password = "********"                  ; password for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED
$IPPort = 25                            ; port used for sending the mail
$ssl = 0                                ; enables/disables secure socket layer sending - put to 1 if using httpS

But if I try to read the data from an Ini file it is unable to connect to the server.
 
Again, the EXACT same data in the ini file hardcoded into the script works, but read from an ini does not...
 
any ideas?


EDIT: Answered by OP =

Global $IPPort = Number(IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "IPPort", Default))              ; port used for sending the mail
Global $ssl = Number(IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Ctrl.ini", "emailinfo", "ssl", Default))                    ; enables/disables secure socket layer sending - put to 1 if using httpS

any ideas?

Why post the question twice?

[Wombat]

this one was made first, I posted it here so that others following this specific thread could learn from my mistake as well. I apologize

[tonycst]

I would pop a message box to each read INI entry to make sure its correct all the way to the end.

in my case i needed to add @Scriptdir for each INI because attached files from other directories would change working directory effecting whole thing.

My question is:

Script works with Gmail but not with Yahoo or Live.

I get Error code:2  Description:The transport failed to connect to the server. for Live and Yahoo smtp servers

Any ideas on that ?

Pretty sure my login information is correct and smtp configurations too

[Jos]

The script works fine with Yahoo.... are you using the correct server/port/ssl info?

Live aka Outlook as well as Yahoo REQUIRED from address.

I didint provide it so it gave me errors.

Gmail could care less if there was no return email address
