Task
Send email
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Task

Write a function to send an email.

The function should have parameters for setting From, To and Cc addresses; the Subject, and the message text, and optionally fields for the server name and login details.

  • If appropriate, explain what notifications of problems/success are given.
  • Solutions using libraries or functions from the language are preferred, but failing that, external programs can be used with an explanation.
  • Note how portable the solution given is between operating systems when multi-OS languages are used.

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

When run literally as above, should print:

failed to send mail: Host not found

since mail.example.com does not exist. To get it to work, you'll need to fill in the name of an SMTP server (such as the one provided by your ISP), and you should adjust the addresses of the sender and the recipient(s).

This version does not do authentication. However, the login() method can accept a username and password for authentication. Also, newer versions of POCO provide SecureSMTPClientSession, for doing STARTTLS.

Clojure

Postal wraps JavaMail to make sending emails simple and platform independent.

(require '[postal.core :refer [send-message]])

(send-message {:host "smtp.gmail.com"

               :body "Testing."})
Output:

This instruction instructs a thing in the mist to send an email. It understands that the found thing will have email knowledge (similar to libraries in other languages). If the caller does not have email knowledge, the callee will train the caller on first request. It is at the discretion of the callee to adjust, delay or not send the email.

Emacs Lisp

Variable send-mail-function holds a function for sending a message from the current buffer. The user or sysadmin is expected to set that variable to a preferred method (sendmail, SMTP, etc). The default queries the user for initial setup.

(defun my-send-email (from to cc subject text)
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert "From: " from "\n"
            "To: " to "\n"
            "Cc: " cc "\n"
            "Subject: " subject "\n"
            mail-header-separator "\n"
            text)
    (funcall send-mail-function)))

(my-send-email "from@example.com" "to@example.com" ""
               "very important"
               "body\ntext\n")

The buffer filling here pays no attention to charset or possible special characters in the fields or text.

(For user-level interactive mailing, compose-mail creates and pre-fills a message buffer ready for the user to edit and send, or not send.)

Factor

This one uses the build-in SMTP vocabulary. Note that 'to' and 'cc' need to be arrays of strings containing an email address.

Fantom

There's a built-in Email library, which will work on the JVM, CLR and Javascript runtimes. Errors are thrown if there is a problem with the protocol or the network.

using email

Fortran

Intel Fortran on Windows

Using Outlook COM server. Before compiling the program, it's necessary to use the Intel Fortran Module Wizard from the Visual Studio editor, to generate a Fortran module for the Microsoft Outlook Object Library. The following program has to be linked with this module (msoutl).

program sendmail
    use ifcom
    use msoutl
    implicit none
    integer(4) :: app, status, msg
    
    call cominitialize(status)
    call comcreateobject("Outlook.Application", app, status)
    msg = $Application_CreateItem(app, olMailItem, status)
    call $MailItem_SetTo(msg, "somebody@somewhere", status)
    call $MailItem_SetSubject(msg, "Title", status)
    call $MailItem_SetBody(msg, "Hello", status)
    call $MailItem_Send(msg, status)
    call $Application_Quit(app, status)
    call comuninitialize()
end program

FreeBASIC

FB: LINUX

Unfortunately, FreeBASIC does not have a built-in library for sending emails. However, you can use an external program such as sendmail or mailx that can be invoked from FreeBASIC using the SHELL function.

Sub SendEmail(fromAddress As String, toAddress As String, ccAddress As String, _
    subject As String, messageText As String, serverName As String, loginDetails As String)
    Dim As String comando
    comando = "echo '" & messageText & "' | mailx -s '" & subject & "' -r '" _
    & fromAddress & "' -S smtp='" & serverName _
    & "' -S smtp-auth=login -S smtp-auth-user='" & loginDetails _
    & "' -S smtp-auth-password='yourpassword' -c '" & ccAddress & "' '" _
    & toAddress & "'"
    Shell comando
End Sub

Dim As String fromAddress = "your_mail@gmail.com"
Dim As String toAddress = "recipient@gmail.com"
Dim As String ccAddress = "cc@gmail.com"
Dim As String subject = "Mail subject"
Dim As String messageText = "This is the body of the email."
Dim As String serverName = "smtp.gmail.com"
Dim As String loginDetails = "your_username"

And then call this script from FreeBASIC using the SHELL function:

SendEmail(fromAddress, toAddress, ccAddress, subject, messageText, serverName, loginDetails)

FB: WINDOWS

FreeBASIC does not have a built-in library for interacting with Outlook. An alternative is to write a script in VBA or VBScript to send email through Outlook, and then call that script from FreeBASIC.

Go

A full little command-line program that can be used to send simple e-mails. Uses the built-in smtp package. Supports TLS connections.

Icon and Unicon

A Unicon-specific solution is:

procedure main(args)
    mail := open("mailto:"||args[1], "m", "Subject : "||args[2],
                 "X-Note: automatically send by Unicon") |

Kotlin

To compile and run this program 'javax.mail.jar' will need to be present on your system and added to your classpath. Also if you're using the Google SMTP Server then, as well as requiring a gmail account, you'll probably need to temporarily turn on 'access for less secure apps' to prevent it from being blocked.

Lingo

Lingo has no built-in support for sending email. But this can be achieved e.g. by using Shell Xtra and one of the available command-line SMTP clients.

Library: Shell Xtra
----------------------------------------
-- Sends email via SMTP using senditquiet.exe (15 KB)

----------------------------------------
on sendEmail (fromAddr, toAddr, subject, message, cc, bcc, serverProps)
  
  sx = xtra("Shell").new()

LiveCode

LiveCode provides a built-in method that will create an email in the registered mailto: handler on supported OS.

revMail "help@example.com",,"Help!",field "Message"

To create and send an email in LiveCode requires coding your own smtp client, or using one of a couple of 3rd party stacks.

LotusScript

Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set doc = New NotesDocument( db )
doc.Form = "Memo"
doc.SendTo = "John Doe"
doc.Subject = "Subject of this mail"
Call doc.Send( False )

Lua

Using LuaSocket's SMTP module (from the documentation on that page):

-- load the smtp support
local smtp = require("socket.smtp")

-- Connects to server "localhost" and sends a message to users
-- "fulano@example.com",  "beltrano@example.com", 
-- and "sicrano@example.com".
-- Note that "fulano" is the primary recipient, "beltrano" receives a
-- carbon copy and neither of them knows that "sicrano" received a blind
-- carbon copy of the message.
from = "<luasocket@example.com>"

rcpt = {
  "<fulano@example.com>",
  "<beltrano@example.com>",
  "<sicrano@example.com>"
}

mesgt = {
  headers = {
    to = "Fulano da Silva <fulano@example.com>",
    cc = '"Beltrano F. Nunes" <beltrano@example.com>',
    subject = "My first message"
  },
  body = "I hope this works. If it does, I can send you another 1000 copies."
}

r, e = smtp.send{
  from = from,
  rcpt = rcpt, 
  source = smtp.message(mesgt)
}

Mathematica /Wolfram Language

Mathematica has the built-in function SendMail, example:

SendMail["From" -> "from@email.com", "To" -> "to@email.com", 
 "Subject" -> "Sending Email from Mathematica", "Body" -> "Hello world!", 
 "Server" -> "smtp.email.com"]

The following options can be specified:

"To"
"Cc"
"Bcc"
"Subject"
"Body"
"Attachments"
"From"
"Server"
"EncryptionProtocol"
"Fullname"
"Password"
"PortNumber"
"ReplyTo"
"ServerAuthentication"
"UserName"

Possible options for EncryptionProtocol are: "SSL","StartTLS" and "TLS". This function should work fine on all the OS's Mathematica runs, which includes the largest 3: Windows, Linux, Mac OSX.

NewLISP

import smtp

proc sendMail(fromAddr: string; toAddrs, ccAddrs: seq[string];
              subject, message, login, password: string;
              server = "smtp.gmail.com"; port = Port 465; ssl = true) =

Perl

Using Net::SMTP

This subroutine throws an appropriate error if it fails to connect to the server or authenticate. It should work on any platform Perl does.

use Net::SMTP;
use Authen::SASL;
  # Net::SMTP's 'auth' method needs Authen::SASL to work, but
  # this is undocumented, and if you don't have the latter, the
  # method will just silently fail. Hence we explicitly use
  # Authen::SASL here.

sub send_email {
  my %o =
     (from => '', to => [], cc => [],
      subject => '', body => '',
      host => '', user => '', password => '',
      @_);
  ref $o{$_} or $o{$_} = [$o{$_}] foreach 'to', 'cc';

  my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($o{host} ? $o{host} : ())
      or die "Couldn't connect to SMTP server";

  $o{password} and
     $smtp->auth($o{user}, $o{password}) ||
     die 'SMTP authentication failed';

  $smtp->mail($o{user});
  $smtp->recipient($_) foreach @{$o{to}}, @{$o{cc}};
  $smtp->data;
  $o{from} and $smtp->datasend("From: $o{from}\n");
  $smtp->datasend('To: ' . join(', ', @{$o{to}}) . "\n");
  @{$o{cc}} and $smtp->datasend('Cc: ' . join(', ', @{$o{cc}}) . "\n");
  $o{subject} and $smtp->datasend("Subject: $o{subject}\n");
  $smtp->datasend("\n$o{body}");
  $smtp->dataend;

  return 1;
}

An example call:

send_email
   from => 'A. T. Tappman',
   to => ['suchandsuch@example.com', 'soandso@example.org'],
   cc => 'somebodyelse@example.net',
   subject => 'Important message',
   body => 'I yearn for you tragically.',
   host => 'smtp.example.com:587',
   user => 'tappman@example.com',
   password => 'yossarian';

If the host parameter is omitted, send_email falls back on the SMTP_Hosts defined in Net::Config. Hence, only two arguments are strictly necessary:

send_email
   to => 'suchandsuch@example.com',
   user => 'tappman@example.com';

Using LWP

LWP can send email by a POST to a mailto: URL. The message is given as a HTTP request. This is mainly of interest for treating different types of URLs in a common way. LWP sends merely by running the sendmail program, or on MacOS classic by SMTP (to SMTPHOSTS environment variable). For reference, the $ua->post() method does not suit since it constructs a message as MIME "form data".

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;

sub send_email {
  my ($from, $to, $cc, $subject, $text) = @_;

  my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  my $req = HTTP::Request->new (POST => "mailto:$to",
                                [ From => $from,
                                  Cc => $cc,
                                  Subject => $subject ],
                                $text);
  my $resp = $ua->request($req);
  if (! $resp->is_success) {
    print $resp->status_line,"\n";
  }
}

send_email('from-me@example.com', 'to-foo@example.com', '',
           "very important subject",

PHP

mail('hello@world.net', 'My Subject', "A Message!", "From: my@address.com");

PicoLisp

PicoLisp has a built-in 'mail' function. A minimal call would be

(mail "localhost" 25 "me@from.org" "you@to.org" "Subject" NIL "Hello")

Instead of "Hello" an arbitrary number of arguments may follow (possibly containing executable expressions) for the message body.

The 6th argument (here 'NIL') may specify a list of attachments.

Pike

Untested:

int main(){
   string to         = "some@email.add";
   string subject    = "Hello There.";
   string from       = "me@myaddr.ess";
   string msg        = "Hello there! :)";
   
   Protocols.SMTP.Client()->simple_mail(to,subject,from,msg);
}

PowerShell

PowerShell has a cmdlet named 'Send-MailMessage', and this is the easiest way to use it.

The parameters are splatted with a hashtable:

[hashtable]$mailMessage = @{
    From = "weirdBoy@gmail.com"
    To = "anudderBoy@YourDomain.com"
    Cc = "daWaghBoss@YourDomain.com"
    Attachment = "C:\temp\Waggghhhh!_plan.txt"
    Subject = "Waggghhhh!"
    Body = "Wagggghhhhhh!"
    SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
    SMTPPort = "587"
    UseSsl = $true
    ErrorAction = "SilentlyContinue" 
}

Send-MailMessage @mailMessage

PureBasic

InitNetwork()

CreateMail(0, "from@mydomain.com", "This is the Subject")

SetMailBody(0, "Hello   " + Chr(10) + "This is a mail !")

AddMailRecipient(0, "test@yourdomain.com", #PB_Mail_To)

AddMailRecipient(0, "test2@yourdomain.com", #PB_Mail_Cc)
    
If SendMail(0, "smtp.mail.com")
    MessageRequester("Information", "Mail correctly sent !")
Else
    MessageRequester("Error", "Can't sent the mail !")

Python

Python: POSIX

The function returns a dict of any addresses it could not forward to; other connection problems raise errors.
Tested on Windows, it should work on all POSIX platforms.

import smtplib

def sendemail(from_addr, to_addr_list, cc_addr_list,
              subject, message,
              login, password,
              smtpserver='smtp.gmail.com:587'):
    header  = 'From: %s\n' % from_addr
    header += 'To: %s\n' % ','.join(to_addr_list)
    header += 'Cc: %s\n' % ','.join(cc_addr_list)
    header += 'Subject: %s\n\n' % subject
    message = header + message
    
    server = smtplib.SMTP(smtpserver)
    server.starttls()
    server.login(login,password)
    problems = server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr_list, message)
    server.quit()
    return problems

Example use:

sendemail(from_addr    = 'python@RC.net', 
          to_addr_list = ['RC@gmail.com'],
          cc_addr_list = ['RC@xx.co.uk'], 
          subject      = 'Howdy', 
          message      = 'Howdy from a python function', 
          login        = 'pythonuser', 
          password     = 'XXXXX')

Python: Windows

Using Outlook COM server with the Pywin32 library.

import win32com.client

def sendmail(to, title, body):
    olMailItem = 0
    ol = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
    msg = ol.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    msg.To = to
    msg.Subject = title
    msg.Body = body
    msg.Send()
    ol.Quit()

sendmail("somebody@somewhere", "Title", "Hello")

R

R does not have a built-in facility for sending emails though there is a package for this on CRAN: mail.

Windows

Using Outlook COM server with the RDCOMClient package.

library(RDCOMClient)

send.mail <- function(to, title, body) {
  olMailItem <- 0
  ol <- COMCreate("Outlook.Application")
  msg <- ol$CreateItem(olMailItem)
  msg[["To"]] <- to
  msg[["Subject"]] <- title
  msg[["Body"]] <- body
  msg$Send()
  ol$Quit()
}

send.mail("somebody@somewhere", "Title", "Hello")

Racket

Racket has a built-in library for sending e-mails:

#lang racket

;; using sendmail:
(require net/sendmail)
(send-mail-message
 "sender@somewhere.com" "Some Subject"
 '("recipient@elsewhere.com" "recipient2@elsewhere.com")
 '("cc@elsewhere.com")
 '("bcc@elsewhere.com")
 (list "Some lines of text" "go here."))

;; and using smtp (and adding more headers here):
(require net/head net/smtp)
(smtp-send-message 
 "192.168.0.1"
 "Sender <sender@somewhere.com>"
 '("Recipient <recipient@elsewhere.com>")
 (standard-message-header
  "Sender <sender@somewhere.com>"
  '("Recipient <recipient@elsewhere.com>")
  '() ; CC
  '() ; BCC
  "Subject")
 '("Hello World!"))

SQL PL

Works with: Db2 LUW

version 9.7 or higher.

With SQL PL: You must first set the SMTP server in the database from which you want to send the message.

UPDATE DB CFG FOR myDb USING SMTP_SERVER 'smtp.ibm.com';

CALL UTL_MAIL.SEND ('senderAccount@myDomain.com','recipientAccount@yourDomain.com', 'copy@anotherDomain.com', NULL, 'The subject of the message', 'The content of the message');

Output:

db2 => UPDATE DB CFG FOR myDb USING SMTP_SERVER 'smtp.ibm.com';
DB20000I  The UPDATE DATABASE CONFIGURATION command completed successfully.
db2 => CALL UTL_MAIL.SEND ('senderAccount@myDomain.com','recipientAccount@yourDomain.com', NULL, NULL, 'The subject of the message', 'The content of the message');

  Return Status = 0

If you receive a "SQL1336N The remote host "smtp.ibm.com" was not found. SQLSTATE=08001" message, it is because the SMTP_SERVER is not valid. More information in the IBM Knowledge center
