Change port used to send SMTP e-mail

[pkokel]

I am trying to send e-mail notifications using a .vi.  My company has blocked SMTP port 25  to prevent SPAM.  My IT has told me that there is another port I can use to send e-mail.  It is possible for me to change, IN LABVIEW, the port used to send e-mail?

Thank you.

Without modifying NI's SMTP library the answer is no. The port they use (25, standard SMTP port) is hardcoded in their library.

For future inquiries, if you drop the Send Email.vi from the smtp email group and right-click, then open front panel, you can pull the subSendEmail.vi from the block diagram that will give you all the options the wizard has.

Probably the easieist way is to use stunnel.  It can intercept email trying to go out that port and send it to one that you specify.  It can even do SSL for you, so it's great for old programs that only know how to send unencrypted email to port 25 (or lazy LabVIEW programmers).

Hi,

simply append the port number to the server address, divided by a colon, for example:

smtp.gmail.com:587

Bye
