smtp

I used mail() function in php coding but I failed to send any mail. Before proceeding ahead I want to elaborate the context of using the mail() function. I didnt host my site so it is on localhost. I did set smtp, port sendmail_path etc. After searching a lot I it seems that I need to download a mail server. I downloaded a sendmail server that is free and configured it as the site suggested. However, all in vain moreover, someone told me that I can't use mail function until I host my site not only on localhost. Please guide me. <?php $from = "oooo@hotmail.com"; // sender $subject = " My cron

I'm sending weekly emails to subscribers and it turns out that messages are frequently going to the spam folder for users. I'm utilizing Amazon SES to send these messages and have added an SPF record according to their instructions: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/SPFSenderIDDKIM.html?r=3917 In querying the SPF records for my domain I get the following back from http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html : SPF record lookup and validation for: mydomain.tld SPF records are primarily published in DNS as TXT records. The TXT records found for your domain are: SPF

I'm sending mail from Jenkins to an anonymous SMTP relay internally. That relay then securely sends mail to exchange online via TLS on port 587. The transport works perfectly, the issue is that Microsoft requires the Sender address match the authentication credentials login name which is the same as the account email address. For example sake, say this is foo@mycompany.com. How can I make jenkins always send mail from foo@mycompany.com? BTW when I say the transport works perfectly what I mean specifically is that I can drop a formatted e-mail file into the "Pickup" directory on the SMTP relay

I need to send regular newsletters, as well as smaller batches, to a 10k strong mailing list, programmatically. We're currently exporting our list and then using Campaign Monitor's web interface to create and send the newsletters. Campaign Monitor is great, but it is simply too expensive. Sending just one email to the entire list costs us $105, sending smaller batches is even more expensive as they charge 'per campaign'. I have two requirements: I don't want to worry about bouncing, domain keys, black lists, ISPs, or any of that bs. I want a solution that is as cheap as possible. My best bet

I've been trying to get my application to mail some outputted text to an email. For simplification I have isolated the script : import smtplib import sys import os SERVER = "localhost" FROM = os.getlogin() TO = [raw_input("To : ")] SUBJECT = "Message From " + os.getlogin() print "Message : (End with ^D)" TEXT = '' while 1: line = sys.stdin.readline() if not line: break TEXT = TEXT + line # Prepare actual message message = """\ From: %s To: %s Subject: %s %s """ % (FROM, ", ".join(TO), SUBJECT, TEXT) # Send the mail server = smtplib.SMTP(SERVER) server.sendmail(FROM, TO, message) server.quit()

I'm trying to use Amazon's new SMTP service for SES with Django 1.3.1 but I'm not having much luck. I've created my SES SMTP credentials and have this in my settings: EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'my-smtp-user' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my-smtp-password' EMAIL_PORT = 465 Then I try sending a test email (from and to verified email addresses): from django.core.mail import send_mail send_mail('Test subject', 'This is the body', 'info@abc.com',['hello@abc.com'], fail_silently=False) But I get the following error: SMTPServerDisconnected:

This is my web.config mail settings: <system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="smthg@smthg.net"> <network defaultCredentials="true" host="localhost" port="587" userName="smthg@smthg.net" password="123456"/> </smtp> </mailSettings> </system.net> and here's how I try to read the values from web.config var smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(); var credential = new System.Net.Configuration.SmtpSection().Network; string strHost = smtp.Host; int port = smtp.Port; string strUserName = credential.UserName; string strFromPass = credential.Password; But credentials are always
