Get files, zip files, then email files script

[wdheneghan]

Hey...I know that some of these issues have been dealt elsewhere in the forum BUT I am having problems.

I have created a html coded page that goes to Nav Canada website and loads the current weather radar, weather map, etc images. I then save these images to my HDD, zip them into a single file and attempt to send this zipped file to 2 email addresses using the SMTPSendMail macro. The email goes fine but the attached file doesn't. I can use the same smtp server via Outlook and send the same file to the same addresses so I know this isn't a filesize issue. When in a modified script, I attempted to send several files as attachments, with each filename separated by a semi-colon, only the first file in the list was sent.

Here is my script:

//Deleting old zip file
Let>filename=d:\wxsavefiles\wxfilesbackup.zip
DeleteFile>filename
//
//Running the Winzip Macro
//
Run Program>c:\Program Files\WinZip\Winzip32.exe
WaitWindowOpen>WinZip

Let>attachments=D:\WxSaveFiles\wxfilesbackup.zip;
SMTPSendMail>recipients,mail.onlink.net,me,myname,subject,body,attachments
PlayWav>chimes.wav


Anyone can help me??

What Happens When You Drop The ; At The End of The Attachment.

Old Code
Let>attachments=D:\WxSaveFiles\wxfilesbackup.zip;

Replace
Let>attachments=D:\WxSaveFiles\wxfilesbackup.zip

Can You Also Post The SMTP Result?

CyberCitizen,

I thought the same thing regarding the semicolon at the end. Earlier today I tested it and sent an attachment having a trailing semicolon with no problem. But otherwise, I don't see anything wrong with the script as posted. I don't have WinZip so I haven't tested it

Sorry, no help here.

Thanks for the reply...

The script works fine, and shows the sending mail box in the upper LH corner of my screen, scrolling numbers up to 1130034 or so...the file size is 1231 KB.

Result of SendMail: 250 Mail queued for delivery.

Then my Norton shows it as being scanned, and the time it takes to scan the file appears consistent with a 1.2MB file.

But it does not arrive at it's assigned email address..

Sounds like Norton is acting as a proxy mail server and Macro Scheduler is getting a 250 success response from Norton. Norton is then failing to pass the message on to the actual mail server.

Would be interesting to see what response you get if you disable Norton temporarily. Do you still get 250? You may get a failure.

Your mail server may require you to authenticate. If so use:

Let>SMTP_AUTH=1
Let>SMTP_USERID=your_username
Let>SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password

Makes no difference...

I cannot send multiple attachments
I cannot send the zip file
BUT
I can, using a single script, reset the variables and send 12 different emails with 12 different messages and 12 unique attachments!!!!

Not ideal but workable.

The previous script won't work with either IE8.0.6001 or Chrome 2.0172.39 so I created a new, simpler script that will bring me to the summary page but will not allow me to select all the checkboxes, then go to the Print Preview or save the resultant page. Any tips?
