Sending e-mails from a NetRexx application.

Hello there,
for a customer application I'm currently writing I would need your help: How can I *send* a series of e-mails from a NetRexx application to a list of e-mail adresses? There are for sure Java classes to do that, but I cannot find those in my books. When anybody of you does have a sample of NetRexx (or Java) code how to do that, please forward this sample to me! Thanks in advance, Thomas Schneider. Thomas Schneider (www.thsitc.com) _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email]

Thomas,
Have a look at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index-138643.html Javamail is an optional component for Java SE, so you need to download it separately. Lots of samples at the docs.

Tom; Get a copy of BLATT, a command line program which can be run from Rexx and perhaps from NetRexx. I think BLATT has been run from JAVA.

JavaMail is the way to go, here's a link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index.html. Using the JavaMail API keeps your code "pure Java" and therefore "pure NetRexx" and doesn't pollute your application with external dependencies that may introduce licensing issues.
I've written several email based applications in Java using the JavaMail API for my employer so I can attest that the API is pretty easy to get on with (at least from a Java standpoint). I'm certain it will be just as easy from NetRexx, just a SMOP. Alan.

1.) Thanks to all who gave hints which way to go. 2.) It looks, as a first glance, that JvaMail is exactly what I was searching for. I'l have, however, have to learn again a lot after downloading the distribution. Hence again one question, when allowed: Does nyone of you have a resonable small NetRexx sample to SEND mails using JavaMail (written preferably in NetRexx) ?

OK, here you go.
This is the simplest example I could come with (actualy a ported java example). Just text email, no attachments, mime/multipart, cryptography or anything fancy, which you can do with javamail.
You need mail.jar from Javamail on your classpath for this to compile and run.
import java.util. import javax.mail. import javax.mail.internet.
import javax.activation. class MailSender public
method main(args=String[]) public static -- set these according to your needs mailServer = "smtp.yourisp.net"
mailFrom = "[hidden email]" mailRecipient = "[hidden email]"
-- an array, we could have several recipients
mailTo = [InternetAddress(mailRecipient)] mailSubject = "Test E-Mail through NetRexx & Javamail" mailBody = "This is a test of sending a" -
"plain text e-mail through NetRexx & Javamail.\n" || - "Here is line 2."
sendEmail(mailTo, mailFrom, mailServer, mailSubject, mailBody) method sendEmail(mailTo=InternetAddress[], mailFrom, mailServer, mailSubject, mailBody) public static
props = Properties() props.put("mail.smtp.host", String mailServer)
-- log full exchange. this is quite verbose!! props.put("mail.debug", String "true")
do msg = MimeMessage(Session.getInstance(props))
msg.setFrom(InternetAddress(mailFrom))
address = mailTo msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address)
msg.setSubject(mailSubject) msg.setSentDate(Date()) msg.setText(mailBody)
Transport.send(msg) catch mex=MessagingException mex.printStackTrace() end

However, how do you specify the smpt user name and password? additinal parameters to Javamail?. And SSL and port number? (I know, I should look up the javamail docs, but if you answer on this thread it´ll be properly indexed and easier to find in the future ;) TIA FC _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email] Online Archive : http://ibm-netrexx.215625.n3.nabble.com/ |

Bob,
Put the jar file wherever and enter its path in the field labelled 'Classpath' at the top of NetRexxDE's panel. If you click on the 'Classpath' label itself, you can set the path by just browsing to the jar file with an explorer interface.

Fernando,
That code snipped pretended to be just a quick sample of how to use the library. After all it was a head start what was asked for :-) Going into all the details on the miriad different SASL auth algorithms, TLS and SSL transports, etc. is out of the scope of the sample (and my available time!) As Alan demonstrates elsewhere on this thread it is possible to build upon this code. 2011/6/6 Fernando Cassia <[hidden email]>

And I thank you for that!. I´m sure Javamail however manages to obscure most of the complexity. After all, my needs are quite simple: ssl/tls connection to a given port, and standard username/password authentication, as used by GMail.
