SMTP Email Issue

Dexter1 · Post by **Dexter1** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 5:55 pm

Alright, something sad happened and all of my scripts were deleted from my computer. Yes, I am now archiving the scripts as I recreate them.

Edit: I'm using Outlook 2007 and MacroScheduler version 8.0.4.

So! I'm running the code below but find that I am unable to connect to the mail server, which is what SMTP_RESULT is telling me. We are using Outlook with Exchange servers. Before my scripts were all deleted, I had several functioning macros that sent emails and I was using this basic format.

In Outlook, going to Tools > Options > Mail Setup tab > E-Mail Accounts... and then double-clicking on the Microsoft Exchange name in the list of accounts gives me the name of the Microsoft Exchange server.

That's what I should be using for "server" in the code below, right? I'm not sure why I suddenly can't get this code to work.

Code: Select all

Let>SENDMAIL_STATUS=1
Let>subject=Report Distribution
Let>[email protected]
Let>myname=My Name
Let>[email protected]
Let>body=Attached are the reports you want.
Let>attachments=\\Server\Folder\Attachment.xls
Let>server=server.is.com

SMTPSendMail>recipients,server,me,myname,subject,body,attachments
mdl>SMTP_RESULT

On a side note, is there a way to decompile the MS .exes I generated (hopehope)? I still have all of the .exes I generated based on my MS macros.

Thanks,
Josh

In my SMTP scripts (using a yahoo account/server) the

Let>me=[email protected]

would be

Let>me=my.name

without the domain name, and I need a password.

But I see the help has it the way you do so I don't know...

Can you ping server.is.com?

Open a command prompt and type "ping server.is.com".

If you get a response you know that you have a good and accessible server name. If no response try again to find the name of the server.

If you search old posts you'll find Marcus EXTREMELY reluctant to decompile a script. (Info here has been removed by Moderator)

Ok, I'm pretty sure the server name I have is correct because it's what my Outlook is running on and I'm not having any issues with sending/receiving emails.

I tried the following with no luck. I guess I'll start trying passwords, etc.

me=My.Name

and

me=Name.My

The only reason I want to decompile the .exe is so I can see what my working code looks like.

Yes... the problem is, how do you prove that you wrote the script and have the right to decompile it?

No, I don't know how.

Where do I put this?

OO! OO!

That totally worked. Everything is working now. Thank you so much!

Everything is working now.

What did you do to fix your original problem? What was the script problem?
