I have a nightly batch job that can tell if it has failed. I want it to send me an email, possibly with an attachment when it does.
How can I send an email from a Windows Batch (.bat) file?

A:
If the SMTP-server that is a part of IIS is installed, you could use the Echo command to write a file to the pickup folder, and it'll get sent.
echo From: [email protected]>tmp.txt
echo To: [email protected]>>tmp.txt
echo Subject: hello>>tmp.txt
echo.>>tmp.txt
echo Hello world>>tmp.txt
copy tmp.txt \Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup

How would you do an attachment?

This isn't the way if you want attachment, use Blat or something. (Something could be running a VBScript calling CDOSYS.)
