Zugg Software :: View topic - Send e-mail from Zmud without an e-mail client

Actually, I found out what the problem was. Seems that it didn't like the %concat(@cdoprefix, "blah") stuff. Changing it to the actual link works.

Love using it since now I can email notes directly to myself. :)

I have tried the script to send email from CMUD but keep getting an error message. I have MS Office 2007 installed so hopefully the relevant libraries are in place.

When I try to sendmail I get an error dialog box appear that says:
Error parsing command. The "sendusing" configuration value is invalid.

I have checked all of the variables that I edited and they all look ok (sendpassword, sendusername, etc)

Any suggestions?
Thanks
EZ

The problem is using the variable cdoprefix. For whatever reason, it's not being treated correctly. I never really looked into the problem, whether it was some syntax I was missing or something else, but I did manage to fix it.

Currently, I'm sending emails in HTML formats, though you can change it back to text if you like. Here's the link you can use to get your email script working in CMUD. Keep in mind that it's currently configured for gmail (minus the passwords/usernames/etc), so if you use a different email, you'll need to figure out how to configure it yourself.

(Yes, I know cdoprefix is still defined. It's just not being used for anything right now.)

Copy it, open the Package Editor by clicking Settings at the top, and paste.

it doesn't seems to work... it said when i try to run the script (i create a new alias n paste the xml script in zscript, thats the only way i got it work!)

Because that's not what you're supposed to do to import. Just paste directly into the package editor, not into an alias (press Ctrl+V, or go to Edit -> Paste).

it comes out

That issue appeared on the previous page of this topic. Just set defaultfrom to your email address only.

that is what i did exactly, juz input xxx@gmail.com in defaultfrom
but it doesnt work.... Embarassed

or i should put xxx~@gmail.com ?

Try it and if that fails then change the following variable

#VAR MsgObj.From %expand( @DefaultFrom, 1)

to

#VAR MsgObj.From "xxx@gmail.com"

What was the solution? Im getting the same issue. I can send fine from Yahoo, but Id much prefer to be using Gmail for this.

Thanks!

I had this same problem as well trying to get it working on windows 7 Zmud 7.21. the solution i found was that i needed to enable access for less secure apps for my gmail account in question by:

Logging into the address you want to use for sending the email.
Visit the page: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Click Enable Less Secure Apps.
Click Done.

I hope that helps.

now, if i can only figure out how to trigger off of an email received that would be great!

Just wondering if anyone can still use this?
i try and gmail just blocks me, even tho i have " use less secure" enabled..

https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

Google removed less secure apps in general. Can't get it working with yahoo either :(

The transport failed to connect to the server

Newbie Joined: 21 Jun 2018 Posts: 8

Figured it out. Yahoo requires an one-time password for apps.

Newbie Joined: 21 Jun 2018 Posts: 8

Nevermind. Yahoo and even ATT (currently.com) don't seem to work well. Yahoo limits the number messages that can be sent. currently.com doesn't seem to allow any emails from zmud.

Gmail I tried using a app password but just can't connect. 0x80040217 error.

this almost works for me with windows 10.

When I attept to use any version of it I get

the sendusing configuration value is invalid

according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/exchange-server-2003/ms873037(v=exchg.65) there are only 3 options, option 2 as per the settings in this script is "cdoSendUsingPort" so this config error is a little baffling. if anyone has any insights that would be great, thanks.
