Email from Command Line |
|
|
I am not looking for a VBScript. In the past, I had used a command line
script that built a simple text file from variables and then copied it to
the inetpub\mailroot\pickup folder where it was then delivered to whomever
was addressed in the text file. Obviously, the text file had to be
formatted in such a way the system could read it as mail and deliver it.
Can anyone give me an example of how a simple text file would have to be
laid out so that it can be delivered in this manner? I've lost my records.
Thanks,
Jim |

Here's a sample from before.
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general/msg/88ec941434ebc507
If you're running the script on the SMTP server, you wouldn't want to use a
UNC path to the server. That was only relevant to the original question in
this thread. A hard-coded "C:\Inetpub\mailroot\pickup" would probably
suffice.

So, I apparently missed the first sentence in your post, "I am ~not~ looking
for VBScript." :|

Thanks anyway. I did get what I need from the script. Apparently there is
no magical header...
