sendmail.m and Microsoft Exchange Server

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

We use a third party email service and I have a email address: [e-mail]. 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.

The obvious work around is that you push it via Outlook and then use

function sendolmail(to,subject,body,attachments)
%Sends email using MS Outlook. The format of the function is
%Similar to the SENDMAIL command.
% Create object and set parameters.
h = actxserver('outlook.Application');
for j=1:length(to)
    mail = h.CreateItem('olMail');
    mail.Subject = subject;
    mail.To = to{j};
    mail.BodyFormat = 'olFormatHTML';
    mail.HTMLBody = body;
    % Add attachments, if specified.
    if nargin == 4
        for i = 1:length(attachments)
            mail.attachments.Add(attachments{i});
        end
    end
    % Send message and release object.
    mail.Send;
end
h.release;
end

Have you looked through this documentation page?

[Matlab2010]

I have read it.

Maybe you havent as it concerns sending emails via SMTP not exchange server :)..

You were right I hadn't, and you would be surprised how many questions come by which have solutions in the doc.
