Hello, I'd like to send a zip file through Blat, but I think I do
something wrong 'cause it doesn"t work.

I'm using Visual Basic for applications (code from the site) and Blat
2.5. The zip file is about 1.5 Mb.

Here's the command I'm using:

"C:\Program Files\Blat\blat.exe" -s "Subject" -t "To" -f "From"
-server "some smtp server" -attach "here comes the zip file"

What am I doing wrong?

Greetings seppeburchtseppe,

Welcome to Blat YBG. I'll take a stab at your
question. Don't expect to much, I've been in
a slump lately.

"C:\Program Files\Blat\blat.exe" -s "Subject" -t "To" -f "From"
-server "some smtp server" -attach "here comes the zip file"
What am I doing wrong?

I suspect you are a victim of the infamous first hyphen (-)
in the Blat send syntax. Try changing your command to;
"C:\Program Files\Blat\blat.exe" - -s "Subject" -t "To" -f "From"
-server "some smtp server" -attach "here comes the zip file"

All of the above is on one line. Notice the new - after blat.exe.

The above example assumes you do not need to login to the smtp
server. If you need AUTH login try;
"C:\Program Files\Blat\blat.exe" - -s "Subject" -t "To" -f "From"
-server "some smtp server" -u Your email login name -pw Your
password -attach "here comes the zip file"

Once again all on one line. If you want add a -body to the string.

Well, I looked in the ChangeLog files, but didn't find this... In
v2.5.0, the requirement for that initial "-" was removed... So you
don't need it any more.

However! In my testing, my memory was refreshed... LOL.
If you don't put a filename as the first option for Blat to use as the
message body, or use the -body option, then Blat will start, and give
you a blank page waiting for you to type in what you want it to use as
the message body! And you need to end this with a ^Z to tell Blat when
you are done...

Now that you brought it up I remember hearing about this. So I

Post by Tim Musson
my memory, I think your problem is that you are not including the
-body "message body here!" options. So Blat will just load, then sit
there waiting for you to tell it what text to use for the message
body.

So now I'm wondering if a -body is required what happens
with batch examples like;
http://blat.net/examples/batch.html

There is nothing wrong with that page still...

Blat needs to be told what to use as a message body;
1. by using a text file as the first option (that is what the above
example does).
2. by using the -boxy "text string here" method.
3. don't do either 1 or 2 but type the text on the blank screen Blat
provides when you don't use either 1 or 2. This text must be ended
with a ^Z (Control-Z) key stroke.

I'm sure I am missing the obvious but where
is the body text file in;

blat batch.bat -to ***@blat.tld -f ***@blat.tld -s "Test Blat"-
server localhost -debug -log blat.log -timestamp -x "X-Header-Test:
Can Blat do it? Yes it Can!"

is -x the equivalent of -body? As far as Blat
needs a body to send email.

As to options 2 and 3, those I understand.

Thanks guys, but it all sounds Greek to me!

So, which command should I use to attach a zip file (about 1,5 Mb)?

With this one, Blat 2.5.0 stalls (all of course with valid entries
between the quotes):

"C:\Program Files\Blat\blat.exe" -s "Subject" -t "To" -f "From"
-server "Some_SMTP_Server" -attach "Zip_File_to_attach"

I am guessing your command below is just fine, but it is missing any

I would suggest the following changes:

-s "Subject"
-t "To"
-f "From"
-server "Some_SMTP_Server"
-attach "Zip_File_to_attach"
-body "Message Body here - I think this is your problem."

Hello,
I have an SQR that calls the blat utility to send emails.
I have installed blat on the file server. I also have an install.bat script in the same folder:

blat -install smtp_relay ***@abc.com >e:\jobs\blat\install.log

The problem I am having is that before each time I run the SQR, I have to execute this install.bat. So, the SQR can be run manually (first execute install.bat, then run the SQR) and it sends emails fine.

But when I try to schedule the SQR to run on a daily basis (or if I run the SQR manually without running install.bat first), it fails.
Here is the error message:

ERROR Emailing file
e:\jobs\blat\blat.exe x:\sqrout\ABCP\training\rcremail.txt -f 30&***@abcna.com -to ***@abcna.com -subject "90 day New Hire Survey" -cc ***@abc.com -hostname smtp_relay
system stat: 12.000000

RETURN-STATUS = 1.000000
Error on line 477:
(SQR 3301) Program stopped by user request.
SQR: Program Aborting.

I have 2 questions:
1. Why does blat expect install.bat to be run each time?
2. Is there are way to execute this script from within the SQR, so that it doesn;t fail?

thanks.

Greetings Kanchan Torvi,

Let's see if we can sort this out.

Hello,
I have an SQR that calls the blat utility to send emails.

By SQR do you mean something like this;
http://www.sqr-info.com/

Post by seppeburchtseppe
I have installed blat on the file server. I also have an

install.bat

Post by seppeburchtseppe
The problem I am having is that before each time I run the SQR, I

have

Post by seppeburchtseppe
to execute this install.bat. So, the SQR can be run manually (first
execute install.bat, then run the SQR) and it sends emails fine.

In the folder that you installed Blat open a CLI and type;
blat -profile
see if your profile is there.

Post by seppeburchtseppe
ERROR Emailing file
e:\jobs\blat\blat.exe x:\sqrout\ABCP\training\rcremail.txt -f 30&90
system stat: 12.000000

Am I correct in assuming rcremail.txt is the file you want to send?

Try these two and see if one will work for you. If you have Blat in
the same folder as the batch script;

blat x:\sqrout\ABCP\training\rcremail.txt -f 30&90
***@a... -to ***@a... -subject "90 day New Hire Survey"
-cc ***@a... -hostname smtp_relay

All of the above on one line. Then you may need to make this change;

blat x:\sqrout\ABCP\training\rcremail.txt -i 30&90
***@a... -to ***@a... -subject "90 day New Hire Survey"
-cc ***@a... -hostname smtp_relay

Notice the change of -f to -i. This is from the syntax.txt file
-f <sender>: override the default sender address (must be known to
server)
-i <addr> : a 'From:' address, not necessarily known to the server

Post by seppeburchtseppe
RETURN-STATUS = 1.000000
(SQR 3301) Program stopped by user request.
SQR: Program Aborting.

Next try adding -debug or -superdebug to the string. This will
give you a few clues. If you still have this problem post the debug
info here. Take out anything that does not belong on a news group.

Post by seppeburchtseppe
1. Why does blat expect install.bat to be run each time?

It doesn't. That's why I asked you to run blat -profile to see
if it's there.

Post by seppeburchtseppe
2. Is there are way to execute this script from within the SQR,
so that it doesn't fail?

We are working on this one :) Other people will probably add to
my post.

Quoting seppeburchtseppe..

Post by seppeburchtseppe
So, which command should I use to attach a zip file (about 1,5 Mb)?
With this one, Blat 2.5.0 stalls (all of course with valid entries
"C:\Program Files\Blat\blat.exe" -s "Subject" -t "To" -f "From"
-server "Some_SMTP_Server" -attach "Zip_File_to_attach"

You never told it what to send as the 'message' part of the
email...the email. With blat 2.5 There are really three options
on how to get the body of the email message in it. (note: I
already have my username, password & smtp server information in
my computer's registry so I don't have to supply them in these
examples...)

1. use the '-body' parameter...

C:\>blat -to ***@gmail.com -s "This is the subject line" -body "Check out this file" -attach filename.zip
Blat v2.5.0 w/GSS encryption (build : Sep 14 2005 22:46:29)

Sending stdin.txt to ***@gmail.com
Subject: This is the subject line
Login name is ***@yahoo.com
Attached binary file: filename.zip

2. If you give no '-body' parameter blat will wait for you to
enter some text to send as the body of the message. When you
finish typing what you want to use as the body of the message,
signal the 'end of file' by pressing 'Ctrl-Z'.

C:\>blat -to ***@gmail.com -s "This is the subject line" -attach filename.zip
Blat v2.5.0 w/GSS encryption (build : Sep 14 2005 22:46:29)

Check out this file!
^Z
Sending stdin.txt to ***@gmail.com
Subject: This is the subject line
Login name is ***@yahoo.com
Attached binary file: filename.zip


3. Finally, the 'traditional' way of signifying the 'body' of the
message is to tell blat what text file to use as the body of the
message. That is signified by using the text file name as the
first parameter in the call to blat. The following command uses
the contents of a file named "engine.log" as the body of th email
message, and also attaches the same zip file.

C:\>blat engine.log -to ***@gmail.com -s "Here is the result of the installation" -attach filename.zip
Blat v2.5.0 w/GSS encryption (build : Sep 14 2005 22:46:29)

Sending engine.log to ***@gmail.com
Subject: Here is the result of the installation
Login name is ***@yahoo.com
Attached binary file: filename.zip

Greetings,

In the syntax.txt file that comes with v 2.50
it reads as follows, first entry under The Basics;
<filename>: file with the message body to be sent
if your message body is on the command line, use a hyphen(-)
as your first argument, and -body followed by your message
if your message will come from the console/keyboard, use the
hyphen as your first argument, but do not use -body option.


Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

Certainly, for command prompt users. However, if Blat is being launched
from another application, like VB in the original message, users may not see
Blat's output.

You did put valid information in in place of all the stuff between the
"" chars right?

You left out the options to put in a message body, but it should still
work without it IIRC. Anyway, you should add -body "This is the msg!"

What output do you get? Try adding the '-debug -log blat.log' options.

When you post to the list, please include;
The version of Blat you are using,
The command line you used to run Blat (please use -debug),
The output of the -debug command.

Please change any eMail or server addresses - it is never
a good idea to send that information to a public list.

After the last couple of posts, and some testing on my part to refresh

-body "message body here!" options. So Blat will just load, then sit
there waiting for you to tell it what text to use for the message
body.
