Guys, We've been using postie on AIX to send emails from within Universe.

Mark: This is extremely simple in Windows.

Windows SMTP service will automatically send it out. As Jeff says, however, you'll have to configure the SMTP server to properly forward to an authorized email server. If you need attachments, which most billings don't, then Jeff's method, although not as simple, will work fine. Also, if you want html you'll have to build a program to do that. Normally I just create an html template then, at runtime, substitute data into this template and write it to the aforementioned SMTP folder.

Re: [U2] EMailing from Universe
Robert's right, of course. I believe on XP Pro you install the web server and I think the SMTP service is installed along with it. Go to Add Remove Programs Add/Remove Windows Components then select the Internet Information Services. I always install everything except the FTP service and Front Page Extensions. When these are installed, you'll have a new C:\inetpub directory with mailroot and wwwroot sub-folders in it.

Re: [U2] EMailing from Universe
In Windows, it's a much nicer deal to install the SMTP service, configure it to connect to your valid email server, create a Q pointer to the C:\Inetpug\mailroot\Pickup folder (I call ours EMAILTEMP) then just write to that file. Vio`la - easy email from U2/Pick! I use the same principal to email various messages from our Windows servers. I simply create the email header in a .bat file then write it to the Windows pickup directory. Voi`la - I get update logs for our backups and various other messages.

There is an smtlib built in. You can call it just as easy as anything else.

I'm sorry, didn't mean to be flip. I would never install a webserver just to send mail. Python also has good ftp (ftputils) and ssh (paramiko). Will work on aix and windows.

Re: [U2] EMailing from Universe
We are using Fake Sendmail For Windows http://glob.com.au/sendmail/ Create the email content with all the headers in a subroutine and then just call the EXECUTE method. CMD = 'C:\usr\lib\sendmail -t ':EMAIL.TEMPFILE:' 21 ': EMAIL.DEBUGFILE :'' EXECUTE DOS /c:CMD CAPTURING TRASH The good thing about this is the same email created in the subroutine can be sent from unix sendmail or the windows sendmail.

Re: [U2] EMailing from Universe ad
Mark, A bigger question may be What are your statements going to look like? How are they currently produced (eg: embedded PCL commands to a laser printer)? If you are looking at doing more with your fancy new emailed statements than simply duplicating a dreary text only statement with minimal formatting, then you might want to check out our Visage.Reporter offering. You can design your statement by dragging dropping elements from your dictionary, enhance with color graphics, and then deliver via email (typically as a PDF) and/or fax. (You could direct to a printer, but why pay for the ink :-) Chances are, once you get started, delivering statements, purchase orders etc is likely to quickly follow statement production :-) Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage Better by Design! -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users- boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Mark Warner Sent: Sunday, 12 September 2010 1:31 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] EMailing from Universe We're started a project where a client wants to email statements to their customers.
