There really isn't much of a difference. What a Batch file does is
allow you to put the command line in a text file that then runs the

Well, what the -install option does for you is save some common
settings to the Registry. Anything you put on the Command line, or in
the batch file overrides the Registry values. So whatever you have in
the batch file is what will be used.

That is because Blat is waiting for you to key in what you want it to
use for the message body and end with a Ctrl-Z.

There are 3 ways to specify the message body.
1. use the filename of the text file to use as the first option.
2. use the -body "message body in quotes here" option.
3. don't use either and Blat will give you a cursor to key one in.

Can I use the Blat utility to send email without connecting it to a SMTP server?
Is there a way to do so?  If so how can I get this done?

Not with Blat. Blat is the Mail sending client. Any Mail sending
client connects to a server to send mail. That server then connects to
another SMTP server (and so on) until it hits the mail system that
owns the destination address. You have to get your message into the
SMTP system by connecting to an SMTP server.

Another way to think of Blat is the same as Outlook or Thunderbird.
Those pieces of software can't send on their own, they have to connect
to a SMTP client first.

Blat is just a tool that allows a person to set up automated emails to
be sent. For example, i use it to send log files to my desktop from our
servers. This cuts down on the time it takes me to log in to the
servers, gather the log files and then send them.

There are a lot of things you can do with Blat and there are a lot of
things you can't do with Blat. It's a command line tool so depending on
what you want to do,if command line is not supported or you can't do it
in batch scripting, you're probably not going to be able to do it.

Hope that helps.
Steve

The Mail server is telling you that you either didn't give Blat

Hey Ana,

You need to use the -u and -pw options and use the same values your

I am not sure Google Translate worked that time...

If I understand correctly, you want multiple Carbon Copy Recipients.

Yes you can do that, this should work (comma delimited, no spaces).

Hey m_vontikommu,

Do you know what it is you are getting permission denied to?
        Blat?
        Final.xls?
        Something else?

I pulled the VB stuff out of your Blat command line and came up with
this:

blat C:\Test\Final.xls
      -to  m_vontikommu@...
      -f  INSIGHT-Reporting@...
      -s "INSIGHT DATA DOWNLOAD NOTICE"
      -server  usfmta14.usfood.com
      -port 25
      -base64

I see some things that you should change...

The first thing after the Blat command is the text file to use as the
message body, you can't use a spreadsheet, it has to be a text file...
If you want to attach a spreadsheet, it would be like this:
        -attach C:\Test\Final.xls
Then you could either point to a text file for the message body, or
specify the body on the command line with
        -body "this is the message"

There is no reason to specify -port 25, that is the default.

On your permission error, try putting everything (blat.exe and your vb
code in the same directory and see if that fixes your problem.

I want to embed images in an HTML email that will be sent by Blat without coding
image URLs.  Instead I want to send the images as part of the email.  Can blat
do this?  If so, how do I do it?

Well, you still have to put in html IMG tags, but I think Blat can do
what you want...

Attach the image with the
        -embed blat.png
option, then code your html IMG tag like this
        <img src="cid:blat.png" alt="">

Greetings,

To send HTML with alternate text and embed image;

blat
body.html
-f "address@domain"
-subject "test"
-html
-alttextf body.txt
-embed logo.gif


The HTML can be this simple;

<html><body><img src="cid:logo.gif">
<p>Dear Sir/Madam,</p>
<p>Please read this note and sign your life away.</p>
<p>Devilishly yours,</p>
<p>Bob</p>
</body></html>

Apologies if this is obviously listed somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

I am using Blat to send email updates to several dozen people.  The addresses
are in a text file.  I have the proper command that works properly.  However,
there appears to be a limit on the number of addresses that can be listed in a
single file.  Does anyone know what that limit is?  I do know that it is more
than 30.

Thanks,
Dave

Blat doesn't have a limit, but the SMTP server you use probably does.

Hi All,  I need to use a command line mail program for windows for a project
that I'm working on.  Blat seems like just the ticket.  I have a domain name
from godaddy.com.  I can send and receive email via outlook from the same
machine to the same smtp server using the same port (3535) that I am attempting
to use with blat. Here's what I tried (usernames and passwords changed to
protect the innocent):

=============================
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>blat -install smtpout.secureserver.net
myemail@... 1 3535
Blat v2.6.2 w/GSS encryption (build : Feb 25 2007 12:06:19)

SMTP server set to smtpout.secureserver.net on port 3535 with user
myemail@..., retry 3 time(s)

======================================
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>blat -body "test" -s "test" -to
myemail@... -debug -pw mypassword -log blat.log2
Blat v2.6.2 w/GSS encryption (build : Feb 25 2007 12:06:19)


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>more blat.log2

I noticed that I get the same response with or without the -pw option on the
blat command.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Robert

Are you sure these are cut/pasted from the same screen? Your Blat
-install looks to be specifing "try 1 time", but the response say
"retry 3 time(s)"...

rwsn> Any thoughts?

Are you sending -to and -from the same eMail address as it looks? I
would try sending -to an eMail in a completely different domain (for
example the one you sent to the list from). That is what the error
from the SMTP server seems to be saying to me (the 553 line).

I would also test with everything specified on the command line
instead of getting some parts from the Registry (-install).

i am using blat with stunnel to send email thru a gmail account.
everything works well most of the time.  it seems whenever i have 100-200 emails
to send that blat starts to puke about halfway thru and I start getting the
following message:

The SMTP server does not like the sender name
Have you set your mail address correctly?
Error: connection to server was dropped

the blat syntax is exactly the same for each email except for the email address

I check my log file to see what emails weren't sent. I go back and try sending
them again and it works

weird.

Sounds like you're exceeding Gmail's sending limits,
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=22839>:

Sending limits

In an effort to fight spam and prevent abuse, Google will
temporarily disable your account if you send messages to more
than 500 recipients or if you send a large number of
undeliverable messages. If you use a POP or IMAP client
(Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, e.g.), you may only send a
message to 100 people at a time. Your account should be re-
enabled within 24 hours.

If that is the case, look at the -delay and -maxnames options.

Well I am drudging up on old topic here, but just wondering if there is still
interest in this (sending signed messages). I am currently using openSSL with
SendEmail to do this but would rather use Blat instead of SendEmail. So I will
be working on the source and will send changes to Chip (I'm guessing he is still
the pri coder... it has been a few years since I was active in this group)

Please reply to this if you are interested.
