John Greiner Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I want to automatically check if my company's email server is sending and receiving. Does anyone have an elegant idea for how to do this? I hope to do it in the background without actually having to send and receive emails. I thought of using the Ping or If Ping Successful commands, but I don't think that will be a reiable test. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randallc Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hi, Like to help, but don't know enough about networks; I hope someone out there can help. Best, Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Welcome to the group John! A ping will only tell you if the server exists and is turned on, not necessarily what, if anything, it is doing. Using the Macro Express E-mail Send command will send an email in the background. In the example below I set a variable to the current date and time for placement in the Subject line, then send the email. Date/Time: Save "ddd mmm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss" into %T1% E-Mail Send: Know Recipients, Fixed Text, No Attachments ---------- <DT:ddd mmm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ssT:01:1:><EMAIL2:Center:Center:Center:Center:Center:Center:RNR1TOyou@email.com|you@email.com;S1Email server is sending %T1%A1> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
