Re: Fw: Authentication

Thank you for your reply “Chip”


Am I missing something?


OS Windows 10 
Profile in the registry is
Blat v3.2.11 (build : Nov 11 2015 22:22:19)
64-bit Windows, Full, Unicode


Profile(s) for current user --
SMTP: mail.server "email_address" 1 25 


Profile(s) for all users of this computer --
SMTP: mail.sever "email_address" 1 25  ***** *****


I run the following as Administrator from C:\blat_batch -----> blat d:\blat\main.txt -of d:\blat\email_optionsf.txt


where d:\blat\email_optionsf.txt ----> 
-tf d:\blat\email_to.txt -sf d:\blat\email_subj.txt -atf d:\blat\email_textf.txt -af d:\blat\email_binaryf.txt -aef d:\blat\email_embedf.txt -debug -log d:\blat\blat02.log -timestamp


the following appears in the log

I do not see this message posted, though I did receive it as a pending message awaiting authorization to be posted to the group.


If the username and password are stored in the registry, then Blat will use those stored values automatically without you needing to specify them on the normal command line.

I am new to using 'Blat' so please bear with me.




Question:-  As you can store username/password in the registry, can you pick up these values within a ‘blat’ command line statement other than use (–u <value>  –pw <value>) when outgoing server requires authentication?


Syntax examples would be most useful in using 'Blat'  Do they exist?


Many thanks Geoff
