MATLAB: Sendmail.m and Microsoft Exchange Server

sendmail

I am using win7 on 2011B with Microsft Office 2007.

We use a third party email service and I have a email address: me@mycompany.com. The third party which hosts the email service runs Microsft Exchange Server.

The IT guys there tell me the ingoing/ outgoing client is the same and is "webmail.justoneinbox.com".

How can I use this email address to send emails through sendmail.m?

I would rather not have to go via Outlook if at all possible. I do not wish to have to write any code in .NET to support this.

thanks

I am writing in reference to your Service Request # 1-LM83B4 regarding 'How can I setup exchange server to send emails through the sendmail function?'.

Thank you for reporting your concern to us. I have investigated this issue for you. Exchange Server uses NTLM authentication. The version of the library that MATLAB uses does not support the NTLM authentication that Exchange requires.

There are no workarounds at this time.

MATLAB: How to use SENDMAIL to send email from MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a) via the GMail server or Yahoo server

This change has been incorporated into the documentation in Release 2011a (R2011a). For previous releases, read below for any additional information:

To send email using SENDMAIL via the GMail/Yahoo server, you can execute the following in the MATLAB Prompt:

Gmail Server:

% Define these variables appropriately:

mail = 'sendemail.example.mathworks@gmail.com'; %Your GMail email address
password = 'testing1234';  %Your GMail password
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server','smtp.gmail.com');

Yahoo Server:

% Define these variables appropriately:
mail = 'sendemail.example_mathworks@yahoo.com'; %Your Yahoo email address
password = 'testing1234';  %Your Yahoo password
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server','smtp.mail.yahoo.com');

Gmail/Yahoo Servers:

setpref('Internet','E_mail',mail);
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Username',mail);
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Password',password);
props = java.lang.System.getProperties;
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth','true');
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class', 'javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory');
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.port','465');
% Send the email.  Note that the first input is the address you are sending the email to
sendmail(mail,'Test from MATLAB','Hello! This is a test from MATLAB!')

In R2013a, the following command might also resolve the issue:

props.setProperty('mail.smtp.starttls.enable','true');

Note that the above commands are undocumented and may change in future MATLAB releases. Also, note that SENDMAIL does not support servers that require username and password authentications in MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3) and before and hence the above commands will not work with those releases.

Try add this before mail.Send

mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "example@email.com"; %change to the email you want send from
