Hi John,

Don’t now why MailConnect() doesn’t work and no experience with Blat.

Just wanted to mention the option of using an alternative SMTP service to send mail.

For example https://www.smtp2go.com/

Jsut create an account and use their SMTP-server settings to send mails.

Hi Guys

I am having to resort to using Blat because I cant get Magic Mailconnect() and Mailsend() working on my client system.  I have managed to create a command line that will sebd and email and an attachment but along the route had some issues some of which stopped email going and others didn’t.

Can anybody either explain what these warnings are in plain English or point me to a Blat forum like this or some other source of Blat info.

The command line:

q:\blat\blat q:\Pomstyle\email\Inv322112.txt -subject "Our Invoice No 322112" -to john@... -f lindy@... -server mail.pomodoroclothing.com:25 -u pomsales@... -pw <password> -attach q:\Pomstyle\email\Inv.pdf -log Q:\Pomstyle\email\Blat.log

Stopped email going:

WARNING: The SMTP server does not like the name john@... Have you set the To: field correctly, or do you need authorization (-u/-pw)?

This is my email address and is correct.  When I change it one on the client system it works and sends email

Email goes but warnings:

WARNING: SMTP server does not require AUTH LOGIN

WARNING:  Are you sure server supports AUTH?

Any guidance much appreciated

Regards

John

John,

We’ve been using Blat with Magic for probably at least 10 years simply because MailConnect and MailSend were not stable enough to handle hundreds of generated emails going out one after the other.

Leslie Danker should be responding sometime soon with hopefully some helpful hints. He’s been the one to keep blat going over the years in our Magic applications.

Hi Govert

Thanks for the suggestion.  If I am not mistaken there is a licence fee of 415 TO $75 per month x 2 because I need a licence and client needs one – am I correct in this?

I also added to the Files section a while back “BlatEmailTest.zip” which should allow you to run some basic tests with blat.

John,
I think the system is trying to tell you two things:
1 - no password is needed so the -pw switch is not needed.  Try no -pw switch.
2 - it does not like your email address because you are not set up on the email server with your own email address - which is why the employee email worked.
Email servers can be easily set up to relay email coming from specific IP addresses with no authentication, and this one may be set up that way.
I've spent tons of time creating bat files to bounce off blat and it can be frustrating understanding the return codes.
Good luck,
Charles

Pricing depends on the number of mails you will be sending monthly.

Up to 1,000 mails per month are free.
