How to send an email from a Windows batch (.bat) file?

Answer 1

If the SMTP server included with IIS is installed, you can use the Echo command to write the file to the pickup folder and it will be sent.

echo From: [e-mail]>tmp.txt
echo To: [e-mail]>>tmp.txt
echo Subject: hello>>tmp.txt
echo.>>tmp.txt
echo Hello world>>tmp.txt
copy tmp.txt \Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup
