Email notification in Raspbian-can a program calll have SSMTP to do the sending

General Troubleshooting and Support

For some the email notification in Raspbian and other flavours of Linux is not working. Could a utility like SSMTP be called externally from within a C# program with the results from the C# program passed to SSMTP to send.

I can use a simple command like this from the command line with SSMTP installed on my system

echo “Hello world emaill body” | -s “test Subject” [email protected]

and I receive the email straight away. Could this utility be called from within HomeGenie to send a mail.

Yes, this should be possible using class Process (with or without ProcessStartInfo class) to run processes on host machine.

There are examples of usage at the bottom. But be aware, that in HG program you have to use full class name System.Diagnostics.Process instead of Process shown in examples.

I was able to open IE (on the Windows host) with specific site with this sample program:
