MAPISEND (Back Office/Exchange Resource kit)

MAPISEND is a small command-line utility designed to send messages (and attachments) via any MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) compliant email system. It’s particularly useful for automating the process of emailing documents.

Syntax

MAPISEND -u "" -p -r -s "" -m [options] MAPISEND -u "" -p -r -s "" -t [options] options -i interactive login (prompts for profile and password) -c cc: list -f File Attachment - path and file name(s) -v generates verbose output (an 8 line summary of the message) "profile" is the profile name (user mailbox) of sender "subject" is the subject line "recipient" is one or more recipient(s)

If more than one recipient - separate with ';' these must not be ambiguous in default address book

Mapisend requires MAPI - i.e the MS Outlook client needs to be installed.

A solution that avoids the need to install MS Outlook is to use SMTP e.g. BLAT or Postie

Examples

mapisend -u "MS Exchange Settings" -p MyPassword -r billg@sun.com -s "Subject" -m "Test message text" mapisend -u "MS Exchange Settings" -p MyPassword -r billg@hp.com -s "Subject" -t c:\MyMail.txt >> c:\mail.log
