Purpose

 

This example demonstrates how to send a single email with a plain text message body.

 

Prepared Example Files

 

 

The archive contains one file:

 

• PlainTextMessage.bat - The batch file that will instruct NetMailBot to send the email message.

 

Batch File Contents

 

This is the content of the batch file:

 

netmailbot.exe -to test@exclamationsoft.com -from test@exclamationsoft.com -logfile "c:\tmp\log.txt" -server localhost -subject "Plain Text Message" -body "This is a plain text message sent with NetMailBot"

 

Steps

 

1. Unzip the PlainTextMessage.zip file. This will produce a directory called "PlainTextMessage". Open this directory.
2. Open Notepad and edit the batch file "PlainTextMessage.bat". Change the values of the parameters -to, -from, and -server to your own email address and your mail server. 
3. Invoke the batch file by double-clicking the icon or straight from the command line.
4. NetMailbot should start up and, upon finishing, the email address specified with the -to parameter should receive a single email.
