Email server authentication


Hi,
 
I am trying to write a report vi that sents out an email once an experiment process is complete. After running the program written with send message.vi, I am always getting the  error message "Error 54 : The network address is ill-formed". I am not too sure what this error mean. Anyone can enlighten me on this?
 
I am suspecting whether is this is related to the requirement of providing authentication for the smtp server I am using. If so, anyone know whether there is a vi that has parameter input for authentication? I am currently using Labview 7.1
 
Thanks for your help!

Hi,


I have seen error 54: Network address is ill-formed" when either 1) your format for the server string is ill formed or 2) if you have some sort of firewall.  A firewall would block the TCP connection needed to use the SMTP send email  Further troubleshooting would be needed to narrow down as to where you are getting this error.  Use the debugging tools provided to locate as to where exactly you are getting that error.

I hope this helps,
