VBScript to send email without running Outlook

by

You can send email without Outlook in VBScript using the CDO.Message object. You will need to know the address of your SMTP server to use this:

Set MyEmail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")

MyEmail.Subject="Subject"
MyEmail.From="[email protected]"
MyEmail.To="[email protected]"
MyEmail.TextBody="Testing one two three."

MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2

'SMTP Server
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")="smtp.server.com"

'SMTP Port
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=25 

MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Update
MyEmail.Send

set MyEmail=nothing

If your SMTP server requires a username and password then paste these lines in above the MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Update line:

'SMTP Auth (For Windows Auth set this to 2)
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate")=1
'Username
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")="username" 
'Password
MyEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")="password"
