Hi,

I am trying to send my Backup file using “/tool e-mail” options, but it is giving me error.

Error is

“Error sending e-mail: invalid TO address”

I am using following command

/tool e-mail send to=“cool_mudasir@hotmail.com” subject"Testing Mail" body=“This is
a Test Mail From Mikrotik ROS” server[:resolve my.smtp.com] from=“coolmudasir@gmail.com” file=“CrystalNet.backup”

I dont know why this error is coming…can anyone please help me out in this…
The smtp server is provided by my ISP, which works fine, just not working with MK.

it looks like it may be an issue with authentication to the smtp server. to my knowledge, MT OS (as well as dude and other software that MT writes) does not have the ability to use mailservers that have authentication. for our dude, we had to create a mail server without authentication and then locked it down to the private ip of the dude machine. Havent found any other way around it.

Hi,

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I dont understand that script completely.

Dear Normis, when you say try other kind of e-mail address, i have tried gmail.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com, live.com. Same error on all e-mail address.

I only want a simple way to mail my backup file created on alternate days to my mail address which is cool_mudasir@hotmail.com.

I would like to know if the email tool work well.

Has anybody gotten success using that tool?

The email tool works perfect, but you must now the IP-address from the mail server and the port.
I use a pop3 server and this works perfect.

I was able to solve the problem.

I activated the firewall log and realized that the mikrotik address was on a spam list.

I followed the instructions of the site that was listed ip and removed from the list.

After a few minutes everything worked perfectly.
