Emailing Script

[danward79]

Hi,

This is a bit of code I have put together for sending email status reports to any given address.

I thought I would post it so that others may use it or adapt as reqd.

require("socket\\smtp")
socket.smtp.SERVER = "smtp.your server.com";
email = {

SendEmailMsg = function (self, msgtext, msgsubject, msgtype)
local r, e

self.msg = {
	headers = {
		from = "Girder Status Reports",
		to = "Tony Blair",
		subject = msgsubject or "Vote for me!..."
		},
	body = msgtext or ""	
	}
self.from = "<girder@No10.com>"	

if msgtext then self.msg.body = msgtext end;
self.msg.body = "Automatically Generated System Report\n\n"..self.msg.body.."\n\nReport Compiled & Sent on "..os.date&#40;&#41;
r, e = socket.smtp.send&#123;
  from = self.from,
  rcpt = self.to, 
  source = socket.smtp.message&#40;email.msg&#41;
&#125;

if r == 1 then
	gir.LogMessage &#40;"Email Status","Status Msg sent successfully - "..&#40;msgtype or ""&#41;&#41;
else
	gir.LogMessage &#40;"Email Status","Status Msg failed, err&#58; "..e&#41;
end;	

end;
&#125;

email.to = &#123;
	"<Tony@No10.com>",
	"<Fred@the canary.com>",
	&#125;

email&#58;SendEmailMsg &#40;"Girder is working!\n\nGirder Started", "Girder Started", "Status"&#41;;

Basically you call it using the following.

email:SendEmailMsg ([Message Test], [Message Subject], [Message Type]);

Message Type is used for indication in the logger.

Edit all the address as suits you. also put in your server etc.

Is there any way to attach a file? (ie.- security camera still-shot)

Yep! If it is just an image you want to attach I beleive it is possible may ned some modification thou.

Is the image a jpeg?

[quixote]

Yes. I can capture it as a JPEG.

Ok,

I will have a closer look tonight, I beleive there is an example in the manual for sending an image.

I am interested in this to, so I will have a play over the next few days.

What size are the images are they 640 x 480, and how do you capture them?

[danward79]

Hey Derek.

I have managed to send an image using the example, I will now try and adapt the code above for it.

:wink:

Beautiful! I use an ATI All-In-Wonder, and the software suite that comes with it. I'll let you know the specifics later on when I am home from work. Thanks!
