You dont need a user name or password to send mail by SMTP. Try using DSSendMailAttachmentTester routine and see if it helps.

Hi Maveric,

I have tried DSSendMailAttachmentTester routine with the next parameters:

ToAddress: mymail@hotmail.com
FromAddress: mymail@hotmail.com
Subject: Testing
SMTPServer: EMPTY
Attachments: "the test file"
MessageBody: Test
Resut: No Error

I have to use the smtp for hotmail?

This is my dsssendmail.txt file:

#! /bin/sh
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i<<////
From: %from%
To: %to%
Subject: %subject%
%body%
////

Since the status says "No Error", check after a while. Might have a time lag before the mail has actually reaches your inbox. And SMTP is not required for UNIX installations. That is y it is not there in the template.

I just want to add few more for this.
Firstly, there would be time lag. Also sometimes the unwanted emails may reach junk folder or bulk folder and sometimes it wont reach. Try this out using your Official ID. Generally it works out fine for the official IDs. I have tried this(official ID). It works fine !

Thanks Maveric i will give it sometime to see what happen.

Hi prashkvrk,

official ID can be your company id!
like: lastname.firsname@company(thecompanyname in which u r working).com

eg:cruise.tom@hollywood.com :D
(sorry i don't want to give my company id here as an example )! hope u got it !

I got it hehehehe i will try it. Thanks.

since the corporate offices use microsoft outlook, the chance of mails reaching the inbox is very high even though if there is any junk(until your company has any restrictions)!
Hotmail,gmail,yahoo has a bulk folder, so most of the mails will be directed to the bulk folder !!!

I think my company has restrictions because I don't recieve the mail of the test.

And i can view this bulk folder? Or it can't be viewed.

Thanks for all your responses.

yes, you can check it out in your bulk folder of hotmail !!!keep refreshing the page and as maveric said there could be a time lag!

Thanks to all for your responses, today i have recieved 2 mails with the subject test in my hotmail direction but with no attached files. And the sender is "tset@localhost.localdomain" it seems to be the standard configuration of the domain in the server...any idea?

Thanks.

hi,
are you getting likethis in the body of the mail:
"WARNING - MISSING ATTACHMENT" and the body that you have given.
and also do you have an attachement but the attached file is empty??

Are you trying this for incase of any job aborts,If it is the case use one uservariable activity stage and give the specific environments and in the notification activity of attachments part use the log path as attachment.

I have a job that load some data doing some lookups, if this lookup fails for a row this row is sent to an error file. After that job with a routine i check if the error file exist and the size is > 0 if that happens then a mail is sent with the error file attached. The routine work as the conditional to send or not the mail.

hi,
have you checked with the condition that if the look up fails, is the error file getting created in the path that you have specified?
if the error file gets created then only your routine says the memory size>0.
if there is no error file and look is working fine, then the obviously the error file won't get created and hence there wont be any attachment. Also, can you please tell the body of the mail that you got?
in case if look is failing and you want the error file to be sent as an email attachment,Just checkout by changing some data in sorce stream or ref link and make sure that lookup fails and also make sure that you give look up failure condition as REJECT !!
