Hi Folks,
I teach at a small community college in PA where our email is managed through Novell Groupwise. I'm interested in using Mathematica to programmatically send student-customized emails using Mathematica 7's new SendMail functionality. As you might imagine I have not been succesful to date.
When I start my Novel Groupwise software at work, I read an information window that states: "Connecting to Post Office Agent at: 172.19.177.4:1677".
I am assuming (which might be my problem) that this is the proper server address and port number I need to provide to SendMail when I attempt to email students.
My first attempt at code looks like this:
SendMail["From"->"tdallen at hacc.edu","To"-> "genesplicer28 at yahoo.com", "Subject"-> "Sending Email from Mathematica", "Body" -> "Testing", "Server"->"172.19.177.4","PortNumber"->1677,"UserName"->"myUsername","Password"->"myPassword"]
Upon executing this, Mathematica spins away for about 10 seconds, and then returns the error: "SendMail::conopen: A connection cannot be established to the server "172.19.177.4".
Would you have any thoughts how I can troubleshoot what I am doing wrong?? Have any of you used SendMail to communicate through Novell Gropuwise?? Admittedly, I may have several issues going on here. I appreciate any advice you might have!
Best regards,
Todd
