Sending Email ENC28J60

[cruzxia]

I want to send an email from a pic24 device using the ENC28J60 component.
Most scripts I can find on the net to send emails require PHP on the server, and I am uncertain how to implement PHP on my pic.

What is the simplest way to send an email using the ENC28J60 component?

Hello,

You do not need PHP to send an email.

An email is simply a TCP transaction similar to requesting a webpage.

So you would establish a TCP connection to the server and then simply send the data using the connection. Here the client.println is Arduinos way of sending a string via the TCP connection.

Code taken from here: http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Email

Code: Select all

startTCPIP();

// change to your public ip
client.println(F("helo 1.2.3.4"));
 
// change to your email address (sender)
client.println(F("MAIL From: <me@mydomain.com>"));
 
// change to recipient address
client.println(F("RCPT To: <you@yourdomain.com>"));
  
client.println(F("DATA"));
  
// change to recipient address
client.println(F("To: You <you@yourdomain.com>"));
 
// change to your address
client.println(F("From: Me <me@mydomain.com>"));
 
client.println(F("Subject: Arduino email test\r\n"));
 
client.println(F("This is from my Arduino!"));
 
client.println(F("."));
 
client.println(F("QUIT"));
 
stopTCPIP();

Hello Benj

Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at the Arduino coding, and I have a few questions.
I am trying to send the commands using TCPIP_ENC28J60: FillTcpDAta in place of (client.println). I noticed in the Arduino coding they are waiting for a reply after each command is sent. How do I check for the acknowledgment?

Should it work something like this.

FillTcpData(0, "helo 1.2.3.4""); // returns DataLength
Check for reply with time out.
FillTcpData(DataLength, "MAIL FROM: <me@mydomain.com>");
Check for reply with time out.
etc.

Am I on the right track with this?

Lastly
ClientSendPacket - can you give a bit of explanation of this macro, there is very little info in the help file.
