Database Connectivity

 

Description: 

 

Specifies which addressee ("To:", "CC:", or "BCC:") should be used for the email addresses to be taken from the database, for either uniform mass-mailings or mail merges with -personalize.

 

Optional?

 

Yes.

 

Overrides:

 

None.

 

Overridden By:

 

None.

 

Other Parameters Required:

 

-to (required if -dbuseaddressee is NOT "to") -from -server

 

See Also:

 

-dbemailcolumn -dbusecolumnindex -dbreplacementids -dbquery -dbtable -dsn -dbupdatequery -dbconstants

 

Usage:

 

-dbuseaddressee "<addressee type>"

 

<addressee type> is one of to, bcc, or cc. See the example below.

 

Example (cut-and-paste right into your batch file):

 

NetMailBot -dsn "mydb" -dbquery "SELECT * FROM Customers" -dbemailcolumn "email"-dbuseaddressee "to" -to email@domain.com -from email@domain.com -server mail.domain.com -subject "test" 

 

Comments:

 

Use of -dbuseaddressee is additive with respect to the other addressing parameters for "To:" (-to), "Cc:" (-cc), and "Bcc:" (-bcc). Thus, if you choose -dbuseaddresee "to", then the email addresses fetched from the database column will add to any email addresses specified inline with -to.
