Title: E-mail
Post by: gsherwin on August 10, 2010, 03:09:10 PM
I've been running 8.10 for a awhile for Z-wave security and streaming audio purposes.  I am now trying to integrate e-mail to send me messages when door sensors are tripped.  I've updated to most current snapshot and no joy with testing e-mail messages.  I've performed the postfix interactive script to get e-mail going, again no joy.

Is e-mail actually working and how if so how can I get mine to work?

Thanks

Ask and you shall receive. I use GnEeErKd's tutorial, and it will do everything that you could want, and you could even do more respectively.

He has it all laid out there for you.

Welcome, and glad to have you.

I followed the directions and everything works perfectly.  Thank you so much for the response, now the work begins on the next phase of implementation.

Guys...

los93sol wrote a Mail device that you can enable on the core via the Wizard > Core page in the web admin. you can then send commands to it to send messages, i.e. in response to mail events, instead of hacking together this duct taped thing.

I tried this method when it first came out and did not have any success in sending messages.  When the parameter calls for a string value, is it necessary to use single quotes?  I've read the requirement of single quotes when doing text to voice, but is this a requirement whenever the parameter is text?
