bradford Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I know how to email using FileMaker. There is a problem however---a miscommunication with Exchange, that is making life difficult. Is there a plug-in that will allow me to send emails directly from FM6 bypassing the need for an email engine? Does FM7 use SMTP differently? I can't find any answers.

surwoop Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Do you mean you can't send an email using custom web publishing? FileMaker Tech support have told me there is a known issue with Exchange mail servers & that they are working on a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Natively, filemaker's send mail script step communicates with the default mail client on the user's workstation. So if the email program can communicate with an exchange server, than filemaker will be able to send mail that way. There are several plugins for sending email directly to an SMTP server without an email program. My favorite is SMTPit from cns plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradford Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 Great. Thanks. Yes, the issue here is on the PC not the Mac and not Web publishing. Great on the Mac. On the PC FileMaker doesn't launch Exchange to send the email. I'll check out the plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leb i Sol Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Exchange is not an Email Client....it s a server consider this on windows: http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/cmdlinemail/cmdlinemail.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Geek Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 SMTPit from CNS is my favorite. You can really script out anything with it and bypass the FM send mail script step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
