That’s a great idea! You should post this on the Wiki as well.

Is there any way to set a CC??

5

davidnvega, it seems that code for cc will be:

mailsend.cmd (with cc)

:: Send email notifications from Dude via Gmail
::
set mailsenderdir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Dude\mailsend
set mailsender=mailsend.exe
set smtpsender=username@gmail.com
set smtpsenderfullname=username
set smtpserver=smtp.gmail.com
set smtpport=465
set smtpuser=username@gmail.com
set smtppwd=password
set mailto=username@gmail.com
set mailtocc=usernamecc@gmail.com
::
::
"%mailsenderdir%\%mailsender%" -smtp %smtpserver% -port %smtpport% -ssl -auth -user %smtpuser% -pass %smtppwd% -t %mailto% -cc %mailtocc% -f %smtpsender% -name "%smtpsenderfullname%" +bc -q -sub %1 -M %2
::
:: pause
::

change in it: smtpsender, smtpsenderfullname, smtpuser, smtppwd, mailto, mailtocc

Hello quadra74!

  1. You should download mailsend1.18.exe.zip
  2. Extract mailsend1.18.exe
  3. Rename mailsend1.18.exe to mailsend.exe

Thank you!

Hello quadra74!

You should add another type of notification Execute on server:

3. > Create new Notification
Name: > Email-mailsend
Type: > execute on server

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Dude\mailsend\mailsend.cmd” “Service [Probe.Name] on [Device.Name] is now [Service.Status]” “Service [Probe.Name] on [Device.Name] is now [Service.Status] ([Service.ProblemDescription])”

>
> And test it via pressing > [u]Test[/u] > button

Thank you!

luckysatriadzudin, it seems that the issue is related to the connection to the host smtp.gmail.com.
Please to run the following commands on server where Dude is installed and post results here:
Test Gmail connection

nslookup smtp.gmail.com
ping smtp.gmail.com
telnet smtp.gmail.com 465

Thank you!

luckysatriadzudin, thank you for the results!

  1. nslookup is ok.
  2. ping is ok.
  3. telnet is not ok. Please use entire command with port 465 on the end:
telnet smtp.gmail.com 465

.

And anyway from your last screen I can see that connection was successfully and the issue with authorization at the moment.

Please try again and copy link Gmail provide you and log in via Web Browser using this link. It maybe related to the Less secure apps.

I have created the notification, mailsend folder and script. I cannot get it to send to a gmail account. I did change it from execute on server to execute locally and the exe file opened and closed when I tested it bust still no email. I am able to nslook up gmails smtp as well as ping it and telnet into it so I am not sure what is going on here. Should the mailsend folder be created on the dude server if it is set to execute on the server? Sorry for the lack of knowledge I know nothing about the dude
