Script "Sent" but not received by addressee

[RobertAlder]

Working on my first script. Want it to create a new email, attached a file (always the same file), add the same subject and text in body, then send it to the same recipient.

In testing the easy part first, the script will create an email to the addresss in the script, add the subject and send it. Well, sort of. The email shows up in my "sent" box after running the script. (I'm testing by sending it to myself.) But the weird thing is, the email never arrives. No bounces, no errors Hmmm. How can that be?

Any ideas?

Aren't you just saving the email to the Sent box?

Save it to the Out box, and setup Pocomail to Send queued messages when checking mail, in options. Which will automatically send it out. Alternatively, I guess you could use Events for automatic sending.

I don't think so. Here's the script:

Code: Select all

createmessage %CDIEamil

[Write Subject & TO in header
SetHeader %CDIEamil "Subject:" "Latest Data on RMVR Drivers"
SetHeader %CDIEamil "To:" "r.alder@earthlink.net"



{still woriking on writing  text for body of email and atttaching file


SendMessage %CDIEamil
exit

you probably need a from header as well
ie.

Code: Select all

SetHeader %CDIEamil "From:" "me@home.net"

[Tomas]

good point, if even that will not work, I would also consider adding the X-Account header with correct data (name of the account)

Actually I solved the problem another way. I ended the script with EditMessage commad. This is better since it allows the user the opportunity to review and/or change it before it is blasted off into cyper space. After they review it, they simly hit "Send" ( from the program's compose mode mode) and the email goes thru just fine.

Here's my complete script which, by the way, is run by an Access macro using the command line poco.exe /r "SendCDInewData" That same macco also freshens up the attached spreadsheet. Cool.

Thanks for your quick responses.
