Is there any Notes email client that is callable from Unix? needing that to send batch job results

[Philip Chan_1]

Hi,

What we are trying to achieve is to send Unix batch job results to Notes email accounts of those support staffs.

Anyone know if such email client exist?

Rgds,

You don't need a "client" to send emails from a unix server, just use this:

uuencode outputfromjob |mailx -m -s "Batch Job whatever" username@host.com

live free or die

Hah, notes work under UNIX?

No clients that I know of, give Harry's solution a try.

Hi Phillip:

You can simply use sendmail to send to the Lotus Domino Server BUT the Domino Server must have SMTP/MIME ATA running. I made the silly assumption that anything that called itself a mail server understood SMTP the first time I did this. I was very wrong. Make sure the ATA is installed and running on your Domono Server and you should be fine. After that, make sure that the Notes server can resolve your hostname and vice versa.

Hi Clay,

Using Notes SMTP gateway is one way to achieve what I'm asking for. But, for some reasons we had to go for the other approach, which I believe can be done by writting a C program making use of Notes API for simulating a Notes client that is command based. I can do C but not Notes API programming so I was hoping that someone has done this already.
