I have a script that sends out an email to several people. We recently switched from using Eudora to Outlook 2003 as our email client. Now when the script runs, it creates a new message and fills in all the fields correctly but does not send the email. I have to manually hit the send button. Does anybody know if there is a way to have the email sent automatically?

Thanks,

John

How did u get it work with Eudora?

there is no way unless u do some VB....hence, virus/antispam protection

look toward STMP mailers etc.

I don't think I was clear enough. I have a script in FMP that has a send mail step that sends out an email. It worked great with Eudora. It would send automatically without any problems. I didn't know if I had to make a change to the send mail script step to get it to work correctly with Outlook 2003 or not.

Thanks for the help,

John

Hi Laker!

Could you post your script?

I have never seen Eudora mail anything "automatically" either, but I know that MS Outlook rigorosly hides the switches for "auto-sending" for the security issues

but where there is a will:

it is not as "nice" as SMTPIt and is platform specific solution but it works.

I hope it helps u with the project!

Take care!
