Environment
NetIQ AppManager 6.x
NetIQ AppManager 7.0.x
Situation
What are the command-line options for NetIQSMTPMail.exe?
Action_SMTPMail generates the following event: 'Event ID [nnn] MS Action: Error - failed to send SMTP email message to the specified recipient(s). The following error was returned from SMTP - FAILED_TO_CONNECT'
Resolution
Use NetIQSMTPMail (in %\NetIQ\AppManager\bin) from the command line. Run this from machine that Action_SMTPMail takes place on, as configured in job properties (Location on the Actions tab).
Usage:
NetiQSMTPMail -tRecipients [-sSubject] [-fFrom] [-mMessage] [-hHost] [-d]
Example:
C:\WINNT\system32>netiqsmtpmail -tYou@netiq.com -sTest -fSomeone@netiq.com -mItWorks! -h10.10.101.01 -d
Additional Information
If the resulting output Failed_To_Connect is returned, check connectivity and hostname resolution between the host and the SMTP server, and verify that the SMTP service is active by using the command c:\> telnet <smtpserverhostname> 25.
The [-d] option will produce verbose session detail for the SMTP session. Following is an example of a successful SMTP Session:
C:\Documents and Settings\userxxx\Desktop>netiqsmtpmail -tuserxxx@netiq.com -stest -hDAYTONA -d
