I have a nightly batch job that can tell if it has failed. I want it to send me an email, possibly with an attachment when it does.
How can I send an email from a Windows Batch (.bat) file?

If the SMTP-server that is a part of IIS is installed, you could use the Echo command to write a file to the pickup folder, and it'll get sent.
echo From: test@example.com>tmp.txt
echo To: test@example.com>>tmp.txt
echo Subject: hello>>tmp.txt
echo.>>tmp.txt
echo Hello world>>tmp.txt
copy tmp.txt \Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup

How would you do an attachment? – Mark Brackett Dec 04 '08 at 03:01

This isn't the way if you want attachment, use Blat or something. (Something could be running a VBScript calling CDOSYS.) – Svante Svenson Dec 04 '08 at 13:39
