SwithMail is a windows application that is extremely easy to use. You run the program, set up basic settings (from address, to address, smtp server info, email subject and body), click save, and you're ready to go. Now you can send email using these settings silently from the command line, a batch file, or (the reason I wrote it), if a windows service quits.

Options:

/Server - server address - no port specified
/Port - [also /p] server port - needed if /Server is used
/Password - [also /pass] password - in plain text

/ToAddress - [also /to] email address(es); multiple separated by ';' or ','
/CC - email address(es); multiple separated by ';' or ','
/BCC - email address(es); multiple separated by ';' or ','
/FromName - [also /name] name displayed
/Subject - [also /sub] subject "in quotes"
/Body - [also /b] email body "in quotes" - html tags allowed when /HTML=true
/HTML - "true" or "false" depending on if HTML tags are allowed in the body
- If True / False not specified, True is assumed
/Attachment - [also /a] "C:\Path\To\File.txt""
/Param1 - [also /p{1-5}] use %Param1% in the subject or body, & it will be replaced with this value.
Param1-Param5 are available for use.

Notes:

-arguments are NOT case sensitive
-arguments can be prefaced with '/', '-' or '--'

Example Usage:

swithmail.exe /silent /toaddress:"1@mail.com;2@mail.com" /cc cc@mail.com /subject:"here, %Param1%" /body:"line 1<br/>line 2" /html=true /param1="Mr. Smith"

top

Obviously, you wouldn't need to use %Param1% when you specify the subject and body from the CLI, but, again, if you need to send emails on a schedule to multiple different recipients, and you want to personalize them, open SwithMail without the /silent option, configure settings, and fill out the subject and body using %Param1% - %Param5%, then you can write a batch script, and specify the different "to" addresses, and the parameters, and have SwithMail do the rest!

Windows operating systems tested and working:

- Windows XP
- Windows 7 32 bit
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Windows Server 2003 32 bit
- Windows Server 2003 64 bit
- Windows Server 2008 64 bit

Others versions should work, but I have not tested them. If you try it, and it does work, let me know and I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

Revision History

Revision: v1.5.4.1
========================
-Bug Fix: fixed /p3 - /p5 parameters overwriting /p2's value. (/param3 - /param5 worked just fine...)

Revision: v1.5.4.0
========================
-Bug Fix: attaching files from CLI with full path following '/a "c:\..."' was not parsing correctly – work around was to use a colon (:) or equal sign (=) after the '/a' – issue now resolved. Now it's only splitting on a colon if it's NOT followed by a backslash (\) (eg: /a "C:\temp\test.txt" will not split on the colon because it's followed by a backslash). - Thanks, Paul.
-Added icons in file menu.

========================
-New Icon
