The sample script below
sends an email using IIS's SMTP service running on
the local machine.
Notes:
Special shell characters such as < and > must be
escaped using the caret character ^
IIS requires only a minimal set of headers followed
by a blank line which separates
the header from the body text. To create the blank
line use the following line in
your script:
echo.>>%tempmail%
It is critical that there be no extra
spaces in that line! Use exactly as shown.
The move command
moves the temporary file with the mail into the
pickup directory.
The pickup dir is typically c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup
but this may be different on
your system.
The account under
which this script runs must have write permission to
the
pickup directory. Once the file is sent the server
itself deletes the file from
the pickup directory. DO NOT attempt to write
the file directly to the pickup
directory. Always move it from a temp directory. IIS
will attempt to send
any file in the pickup directory as soon as it
detects it. Therefore you may
not have completed writing to the file before IIS
tries to send and deletes the file.
Always move the file to the pickup directory.
@echo off & setlocal
:: set the temp file location
set tempmail=%temp%\tempmail.%random%.txt
:: echo the basic headers to the temp file
echo To: "Scripting Test" ^<test@paulsadowski.com^>
> %tempmail%
echo From: "Me" ^<me@my.com^> >> %tempmail%
echo Subject: Test2 >> %tempmail%
:: echo the blank line that separates the header
from the body text
echo.>>%tempmail%
:: echo the body text to the temp file
echo First line of body text.>> %tempmail%
echo Second line of body text.>> %tempmail%
:: move the temp file to the mail pickup directory
:: adjust this location for your system
move %tempmail% c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup
