Send email via batch file

[foxidrive]

This sends an email from the command line/batch file, and it's been proven to work in XP and Win7 so far.

Thanks for the idea and underlying code go to a post from a recent thread here, and a newsgroup post from 2007.

Added is the ability to attach a file, and to use command line arguments or set the arguments from within the batch file.

If you have taken a look, foxidrive, you will probably have noticed two
essential additions from me to your solution. The error reporting by the
VBScript and the method to take the body of the message from a file. The
rest is just the ordinary polishing and wrap-up.

All the best, Timo

Greetings foxidrive,

Nice job putting those lines together! It worked perfect also in my
testing using XP SP3 and Win 7 Home Edition.

Best wishes!

My attachment size is larger than what can be sent through our exchange server.
How can we zip the attachment before we sent it through the e-mail.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

thanks in advance

So is right-clicking on the file in Windows Explorer or in My Computer, and choosing "Send to" then "Compressed (zipped) folder".
In fact, this produces a file, not a folder, but Microsoft always seems to have been confused about ZIP(ped) files.

This sends an email from the command line/batch file, and it's been
proven to work in XP and Win7 so far.

I've tried to build a version that eliminates the temporary script file with an approach I developed that uses mshta.exe as the host instead of cscript. I've checked the syntax, but am unable to test the actual email functionality because of my company's internet security settings. It doesn't allow access to external SMTP servers. So, I offer this version with the caveat that it is, as yet, unproven ...

:: email-bat.cmd ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:: Modified to eliminate temporary VBS script file
@echo off
setlocal

:: defaults
set From=***@here.com.au
set To=***@lavabit.com
set Subj="email test %date% %time%"
set Body="did it work? %date% %time%"
set Serv=mail.server.com.au
set Auth=user
set Pass=pass
set fileattach=

:: if command line arguments are supplied then use them
if "%~7" NEQ "" (
set From=%1
set To=%2
set Subj="%~3"
set Body="%~4"
set Serv=%5
set "Auth=%~6"
set "Pass=%~7"
set "fileattach=%~8"
)

set "VBS=with createobject(""scripting.filesystemobject""):"
set "VBS=%VBS%Execute(.GetStandardStream(0).readALL):"
set "VBS=%VBS%:end with:close"

call :send %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7

echo email has been sent (if parameters were correct)
pause
goto :EOF

:send
set cdoSchema=http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration
if defined fileattach (
set "FA=echo objEmail.AddAttachment "%fileattach%""
) else (
set "FA="
)
(
echo Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message"^^^)
echo objEmail.From = "%~1"
echo objEmail.To = "%~2"
echo objEmail.Subject = "%~3"
echo objEmail.Textbody = "%~4"
%FA%
echo with objEmail.Configuration.Fields
echo .Item ("%cdoSchema%/sendusing"^^^) = 2 ' not local, smtp
echo .Item ("%cdoSchema%/smtpserver"^^^) = "%~5"
echo .Item ("%cdoSchema%/smtpserverport"^^^) = 25
echo .Item ("%cdoSchema%/smtpauthenticate"^^^) = 1 ' cdobasic
echo .Item ("%cdoSchema%/sendusername"^^^) = "%~6"
echo .Item ("%cdoSchema%/sendpassword"^^^) = "%~7"
echo .Item ("%cdoSchema%/smtpusessl"^^^) = False
echo .Item ("%cdoSchema%/smtpconnectiontimeout"^^^) = 25
echo .Update
echo end with
echo objEmail.Send
) | mshta.exe vbscript:Execute("%VBS%")

It also lacks the added features that Timo provided.

Yes, you can use another batch file to call the email send one, with all the details as parameters.

That's different, if I understand your suggestion correctly. What the
recipient(s) will see in the headers will differ. Depending on the
circumstances it may be important to see who else has been on the
recipient list. (Besides, how to send group replies, if the messages are
factually separate.) I do not have a direct answer to the original
question, but I think the answer is yes. Because that's exactly what I
do with the rekindled FAQ pointer posting. Only one posting, one script,
to cover both the "recipient" newsgroups.

All the best, Timo

That's a good point.

I wonder if the poster has a legit reason to use it, or a spammish reason.

This should be on one line.

email.bat ***@gmail.com ***@hotmail.com "This subject is about emails" "This is the body of the email"
smtp.gmail.com username password "c:\folder\file.txt"



To use SSL that gmail requires while sending email, use this line

echo >>"%vbsfile%" .Item ("%cdoSchema%/smtpserverport") = 465

instead of this:

echo >>"%vbsfile%" .Item ("%cdoSchema%/smtpserverport") = 25

In addition, didn't this line:

need to be changed to:
echo >>"%vbsfile%" .Item ("%cdoSchema%/smtpusessl") = True

I am getting a vbscript runtime error subscript out of range.

The mail server is the one you use to send email from your email client. Your ISP email server for example.

You mean you are piggy backing off a free network? Get a gmail account and enable pop access and then
try it with that.

Make sure you specify parameter #1 to #7 of the batch file.

The VBS error message tells you the exact line number (in the VBS file)
where the error occured. That'll tell you which VBS parameter is missing.

Which line it ? 18 or 2 or both ?

over and over. Just set whatever news client you choose to retain
messages longer than its default setting. You want to see some
bickering? Post binaries to a text group and you'll soon see who the

Did everything but still getting same error.

Try this batch file - it has been tested with gmail and uses SSL and port 465 to send.

Execute the command as follows, but this command is all on one line.

email.bat ***@gmail.com ***@gmail.com "This subject is about emails" "This is the body of the email"
smtp.gmail.com ***@gmail.com password "d:\folder\attachment.txt"


***@gmail.com is your email address.
***@gmail.com is the recipient email address.
"d:\folder\attachment.txt" is the attachment to send.

Re-read Timo's list of batch material as he has some enhancements, and there are other versions of this
after mine, that don't require a temp file.

On a side note, the added spacing on each reply is terribly annoying.

Andy, you could do worse than to set up a free account here for 50 MB a day.

It does require a credit card spend of $4 to set up the account but it never requires you to spend any
more. I've been using the free account forever.

Foxi,

Thanks.

I am seriously thinking about it.

I am guessing I have more options like filtering out Tedd (Joke for my good friend Tedd).

Will it get rid of the double spacing and retarded empty lines ? :-)

If you use binaries then that might be attractive, but for text groups the 50 MB a day is scads more than
you can read in 24 hours!

Yes, they are an artifact of google groups.

Use Thunderbird for a free usenet client, or another one if you prefer. All the filtering is in that.

What is inside EmailTest.bat ?

'email.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This error tells you that you do not have an email.bat available.

operable program or batch file.

Similarly, this error tells you that there is no command called "***@yahoo.com"

This sends an email from the command line/batch file, and it's been proven to work in XP and Win7 so far.
Thanks for the idea and underlying code go to a post from a recent thread here, and a newsgroup post from 2007.
Added is the ability to attach a file, and to use command line arguments or set the arguments from within the batch file.

Well, let's see...

1) Didn't say what OS.
2) Didn't mention what changes were made to the batch file, if any.
3) Replied to a 6-year-old post.

...with the added bonus that foxidrive died a year and a half ago.

I never tried that one, but BLAT.EXE is easy to use and works well.
