Guys,
We've been using postie on AIX to send emails from within Universe.
It does do attachments and it can send html formatted text, one needs to set
that up though.

regards
jack

I've always used 'blat' to send emails, both from within UniVerse and also 
within SB+.  It's quick, painless, easy to install and can handle plain 
text, html, attachments and everything I've ever wanted it to.

 Mark:

This is extremely simple in Windows.  Add a basic email header to the 
statement you wish to send, e.g...


x-sender: myser...@mydomain.com
x-receiver: targetn...@targetdomain.com
From: billingd...@mydomain.com
To: targetn...@targetdomain.com
Subject: Your monthly billing for September 2010


...then copy the item to the C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup folder.  
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.

 Hi Bill,

I'm running XP Home, and I don't have that directory. Is it an XP Pro 
thing, or do I just need to create the directory? Is there any software 
I need to run? I would like to be able to send email from Jbase, and if 
this is a Windows function, it shouldn't matter where the file comes 
from, right? Of course, I could be all wet here.

You'll have to install the SMTP service on your system and configure it to 
connect to your mail server.  That server may have to be configured to allow 
you to allow mail from your SMTP service on your system.

SMTP service is an optional component.  I'm not sure that it's available on XP 
Home but it's definitely there on XP Pro.

 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.

x-sender: myser...@mydomain.com
x-receiver: targetn...@targetdomain.com

To: targetn...@targetdomain.com
Subject: Your monthly billing for September 2010


...then copy the item to the C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup folder.  
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.

 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.

Re: [U2] EMailing from Universe

2010-09-12 Thread Adrian Halid
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

2010-09-12 Thread Ross Ferris
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 :-)
