I cannot send email from Toad Automation to emails outside my email domain.
Wrong SMTP Server address
Check your SMTP Server address to make sure it is correct. The best way to verify is to test using another application like telnet to see if you are able to send with your SMTP Server address. Below is the step to run a simple test with Telnet. For more info on Telnet, please consult your IT Admin.
1. From Start | Run, type in ‘telnet’
2. At the Telnet window, open the SMTP server with the command
‘open <name of the SMTP server> <port number>’
The port number is typically 25. If your server requires login/ password, it may prompt you for that info. If the SMTP server is accurate you should see a response similar to the following.
'220 <local domain name> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at <day, month, year>'
3. Declare the server with the command
‘HELO <local domain name>’
The local domain name could be the name listed after the number 220 in step 2 but you might need to ask your Sys Admin. If successful you’ll see the number 250.
4. Declare where you are sending the mail from with the command
‘MAIL FROM: <your_mail@something.com>’
5. Declare where you are sending the mail to with the command
‘RCPT TO: <recipient_mail@somthing.com>’
6. To begin composing the message issue the command ‘DATA’
7. To state a subject, issue the command ‘SUBJECT’ and press the ‘ENTER’ button twice.
8. Start typing the body of the message
When you are done with the message, issue the command in “.” (period) on its own line, telling the SMTP server that you are done.
9. Exit by the command ‘QUIT’
