automated email

[Deb]

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically email a file to someone every Friday of the
week? I'm not sure it this is possibly thru automated tasks in Windows 2000
or not.

Thanks in advance

You can use the Task Scheduler to schedule a batch file every
Friday. The batch file can use one of several mail sending
programs such as blat, sendmail.exe, mailto.exe. Check Google
for download sites.

You can schedule such a task.NOSPAM You would need a script so send the
email, and there are a lot of ways to script this. You almost certainly want
to open an SMTP connection to a reliable email server that your company
admins, to send the email, so your email server can handle details such as
resolving the MX record, and retrying. Also, if you are running the Windows
2000 Server SMTP services, it becomes much, much simpler. What would be
somewhat trickier, and perhaps less reliable, would be to use Outlook or
Outlook Express to handle the sending.NOSPAM
