I am wrting a routine for a remote monitoring station. Does anyone know of a
VI that can be used to send and/or receive email for instruction and warning
messages?

Chris,

That's easy with unix: Just use the system exec.vi with a command like:

cat message.txt|mail -s Subject you@isp.com

For Microsoft systems it's a little bit more complicated. Keep in mind
that smtp uses TCP port 25 and a telnet like syntax... You don't need
Active X or the Internet toolkit.

The ni ftp site has an smtp example library that I have used to send email
successfully on UNIX and NT.

Hi From Belgium.
If this can help, a colleague of mine wrote a vi to send mail through MS
exchange using all its perks. His name is Pierre Ripak at
pierre.ripak@advalvas.be. If MS exchange is on your Windows the vi is develishly
simple to use. Ask him for a copy.

Hi Chris,

I´ve written a VI, that can send emails using the exec.vi and a little
program of just 28kB.
If you´re interested I´ll send it to you.

Ciao

Max,

I would like a copy of your VI if possible. It would be a big help in our lab.

Thanks,
