Hi,
I was looking for a way to have Transmission sending an email when a download completes.
I've seen that a script can be run when this happens, and the name of the script should be written in the config file. Ok so far.
So I tried to see what support for sending emails is available in the fvdw firmware, but except trying mail and a couple of other unknown commands found by googling, I couldn't do.

Is there any way to send an email from a shell script, so that this is achievable?

Thanks a lot,
MDI

the sendmail binaries and basic files are present in the firmware...but it not setup. You will need data form smtp server of your provider and more. I did it in the past but forgot the details

also phpmailer is included in the firmware, thats easier to set up

currently I have no time to look at this, sorry, maybe later

Thank you fvdw, I'll make some tests on my own as soon as I get some time too.
Thanks for your quick answer anyway!

below an example with phpmailer
phphmailer is in /usr/htdocs.
if i remember well the script must run from a subfolder in /usr/htdocs/PHPMailer
(This because of the line require_once('../class.phpmailer.php'); in the script, otherwise it cannot find this basic script)

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <title>PHPMailer - SMTP (dummy) advanced test</title> </head> <body> <?php require_once('../class.phpmailer.php'); //include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded $mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP try { $mail->Host = "mail.example.com"; // SMTP server $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing) $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier $mail->Host = "mail.example.com"; // sets as the SMTP server $mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the server $mail->Username = "username"; // mail server username $mail->Password = "password"; // password for account on smtp server $mail->AddReplyTo('info@dummy.com', 'First Last'); $mail->AddAddress('user@dummy.com', 'dummy user'); $mail->SetFrom('user@dummy.com', 'First Last'); $mail->AddReplyTo('user@dummy.com', 'First Last'); $mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer Test Subject via mail(), advanced'; $mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically $mail->MsgHTML(file_get_contents('contents.html')); $mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer.gif'); // attachment $mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.gif'); // attachment $mail->Send(); echo "Message Sent OK</p>\n"; } catch (phpmailerException $e) { echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else! } ?> </body> </html>

I also found some notes from the past making it possible to sent e-mails using openssl without any other need to set anything. Should run with the firmware as it is using openssl at the command line
I think I will have time to post that on wednesday

Hi mdi

are you still interested in this feature. In the meantime we managed to sent a simple e-mail by using an smtp mail server of an isp provider. No need to use sendmail or php mailer, just command line script and openssl.

I think this would be a great feature to have!

Hi fvdw,
Sorry for my absence. Yes, i'm still interested in a simple solution, which involves the fewer possible software layers.

Thanks a lot!

I would like a simple script to send email through my ISP's smtp server...

Thanks in advance!
