Hi,
Sorry to make you revisit the blat + gmail topic yet again, but the
postings I read where not clear enough for me to follow.
I am attempting to get blat to send mail through my gmail account
(eventually I plan to use AuthSMTP), but I am unable to send email.
My smtp parameters are as follows:
smtp server = smtp.gmail.com
port = 587
Username = rf.f@...
Password = Co1234
With the above information, I proceeded to install blat without any
issues. Here is the syntax used for the installation:
C:\Vocal\Blat>blat.exe -install smtp.gmail.com rf.f@... 1 -port
587 -u rf.f@... -pw Co1234
Blat v2.6.3 w/GSS encryption (build : Sep 22 2007 11:49:49)
SMTP server set to smtp.gmail.com on port 587 with user rf.f@...,
retry 1 time(s)
Once the installation was completed, I issued the following command,
but got the error below.
C:\Vocal\Blat>blat -f rf.f@... -to Red_General_2003@... -
server smtp.gmail.com -subject "Greetings from vocal" -body "This is
the message body"
Blat v2.6.3 w/GSS encryption (build : Sep 22 2007 11:49:49)
Sending stdin.txt to Red_General_2003@...
Subject: Greetings from vocal
Login name is rf.f@...
The SMTP server does not require AUTH LOGIN.
Are you sure server supports AUTH?
The SMTP server does not like the sender name.
Have you set your mail address correctly?
Based on the switches provided with blat, sound like the above
configuration should work. Any ideas as to why is failing to send email?
Regards,
