Usage

The uSMTP function allows e-mail messages to be sent to multiple recipients using a SMTP server.

The server URL for specifying the SMTP server uses this syntax: protocol://user:password@server:port

Protocol can be one of:

<empty> – SMTP with SSL encryption, if applicable

SMTP – SMTP without SSL encryption

SMTPS – SMTP with SSL encryption

User name and password – The user name and password are used to authenticate the client. If not provided, no authentication is performed.

Note:

If the user name contains a @ sign, replace it with # to avoid ambiguities.

Port – TCP port to be used, default is 25.

myServer
myServer:123
SMTPS://myServer:123
Me:secret@myServer

Specify recipients by adding a list of addresses separated by a comma. By default, all recipients are addressed directly. To send a carbon copy or blind carbon copy, simply add "cc:" or "bcc:" before the e-mail address:

user@host.domain
My Name <user@host.domain>
To: My Name <user@host.domain>
To: user@host.domain
Cc: My Name <user@host.domain>
To: user@host.domain, Bcc: Test User <test@myserver.com>

If the SMTP server allows encrypted communication, it is performed automatically. If you provide user name and password, authentication methods are tried in the following sequence: PLAIN, LOGIN.

You can specify your personal defaults in the INI file:

[SMTP]
ServerURL=<your default server URL>
Sender=<your default sender>
Recipients=<your default recipients>
Subject=<your default subject>

For example:

[SMTP]
ServerURL=maxm:secret@mail.gmail.com
Sender= Maxi <Max.Mustermann@ gmail.com>
Recipients=ETLAdmin@MyCompany.com, Cc: QA qa@MyCompany.com
Subject=ETL Message
