Help / Example Usage Information

To view a list of supported switches you can run:

EZMailSend /?

Some Important Notes:

Since pressing enter in the command line will cause the command to execute, you must use \n for line-breaks in your message.

For example:

EZMailSend /to:joe@example.com /message:Hello,\n\nHow are you?

Would result in the following message:

Hello,

How are you?

In addition to newline characters you must also escape forward-slash characters (/) so EZMailSend does not interpret them as a switch.
This is done by placing a backslash before the forward-slash,
i.e. / becomes \/

For example:

EZMailSend /to:joe@example.com /message:Hello \/ How are you?

Would result in the following message:

Hello / How are you?

Sending a simple email using an EZMS configuration file:
First create a .EZMS configuration file using the EZMailSend Configuration File Creator or using a text editor. An EZMS file simply contains the command line parameters you would normally type at the console. However since it's in a file you can separate each parameter with a line break to make it easier to read. In addition you can use line-breaks in your message instead of using \n. Here is an example EZMS config file called SIMPLE.EZMS: /to:joe@example.com /cc:bob@mysite.com;jim@example.net /bcc:me@mysite.com /subject:Hello Joe, Bob and Jim! /message:How are you guys doing? I'm doing pretty good. I've attached a funny photo, check it out! Hope to hear from you soon! /attach:c\funny.jpg /logfile:c:\email.log /logappend This will send an email to 1 recipient, CC to more and BCC yourself. The message has several lines and it will attach an image and append the results to the logfile c:\email.log. Now to send this you can simple double click the SIMPLE.EZMS file, drag it on to EZMailSend.exe or launch EZMailSend with the /config option like this: EZMailSend /config:c:\simple.ezms If you chose to double click the SIMPLE.EZMS file you may have noticed the console appeared then disappeared. If you would like the console to stay open you may use the /PAUSE switch which will prompt you to press any key to close. To do this simply place /PAUSE at the end of your EZMS file. This switch may also be used in the command line.
