Email Attachment

[system]

Hi,

I’ve been doing some research in order to learn how to have DI send an email with an attachment. I’ve gotten some conflicting results. This thread appears to suggest that smtp_mailer can do that:

I want to send and email with an attachment and I understand that this can be done using the smtp_mailer.exe program. The command I am using is smtp_mailer.exe -rsmtpsrvr -fsender@blahbla.com -tmyaddress@mycompany.com -s"Subject Line For The Email" -email.txt -aFileToBeAttached.txt where [list] “smtpsrvr” is the name of the smtp server “email.txt” holds the body of the email “FileToBeAttached.txt” is the file I want to attach to the email. [/list] I can get it to work from the DOS comm…

…while this one suggests that smtp_mailer cannot do it but that mailer can do that:

With DI 12.2 (3.2) I’m trying to send an email with attachement : smtp_mailer.exe doesn’t support attachments : smtp_mailer.exe Wrong syntax. Use: mailer -r<Mail server> -f<Mail from> -t<Recipients list, in quotes, separated by commas or spaces> -s<Subject of Mail> -m<File name with e-mail message> -v [verbose mode; will output messages if -v defined] so i try mailer.exe mailer Wrong syntax. Use: mailer -f<M…

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Brian

I would go ahead and use some sort of 3rd party tool that can send attachments and call it via a script.

heres a python script I use to send multiple attachments:
takes a pipe delimited list of args with TO & file attachment dsns being lists separated by commas. (files must reside in same path).

def send_mail(send_to, subject, text, pathAttachment,lstAttachments):
   server      = 'outbound.randomname.com'
   send_from   = 'DATASERVICES_AUTO@somedomain.com'
   import smtplib, os
   from email.MIMEMultipart   import MIMEMultipart
   from email.MIMEBase        import MIMEBase
   from email.MIMEText        import MIMEText
   from email.Utils           import COMMASPACE, formatdate
   from email                 import Encoders
   assert type(send_to)          == list
   assert type(lstAttachments)   == list

   msg               = MIMEMultipart()
   msg['From']       = send_from
   msg['To']         = ','.join(send_to)
   msg['Date']       = formatdate(localtime=True)
   msg['Subject']    = subject

   msg.attach( MIMEText(text) )

   for attachmentName in lstAttachments:
      part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream")
      IH = open(pathAttachment + '\\' + attachmentName,"rb")
      inputData = IH.read()
      IH.close()
      part.set_payload(inputData)
      Encoders.encode_base64(part)
      part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="%s"' % attachmentName)
      msg.attach(part)

   smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server)
   smtp.sendmail(send_from, send_to, msg.as_string())
   smtp.close()


from sys import argv

send_to,subject,text,pathAttachment,lstAttachments = argv[1].split('|')
if send_to.find(',') > -1:
   send_to = send_to.split(',')
else:
   send_to = [send_to]

lstAttachments = lstAttachments.split(',')
text += '\n'
send_mail(send_to,subject,text,pathAttachment,lstAttachments)

they really should add a scripts sub forum.
