- Sun Nov 29, 2015 10:48 am #35256 Yes for gmail I was using port 587, I did not try other ports on gmail.

My local ISP does still work via the email sent from an ESP using the LUA code posted at the beginning of this thread.

here is the response from that successful attempt...

I appears that they should both be successful. Yet I never get the second message. They are both using the same smtp server. Same from address. Same to address.

Could there be something about the 'subject' or the 'body' of the email that is causing the second one to not be sent??

I plan on contacting my ISP tomorrow to see if a Tech on that end can see what the problem might be.

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
(note: when pasting the responses I changed slightly the encoded parts to obscure my personal info.)

- Mon Nov 30, 2015 10:31 pm #35399 So I finally got the smtp2mail thing to work so I can send an email or a text message (not to gmail though as gmail rejects it due to differing FROM and smtp2go issues)

question... is it possible to use a variable or string variable to insert data into the subject or body of the message??

when I tried to use a variable it just sent the name of the variable.

Is there a way to combine various bits of text and values like temperature into a message body to be sent?

That is really the way it should work so the email program can notify you of something with parameters included like "door open at 11:59 pm" "door closed at 12:15 am" "the temperature is 27 deg" etc, etc.

thanks

- Mon Nov 30, 2015 10:48 pm #35404 This is all I did... you can see where I assigned body=25 then tried to send body in the text msg.
When I recieved the text msg it just said "body"

thanks for the quick response.
