Below is how we have our nbmail.cmd, about 30 lines down is the only
thing you will need to modify, however nbmail relies on blat so if you
can't use blat, you may be SOL...

@REM - HOW TO SEND MAIL FROM THE NT NETBACKUP SERVER
-

@REM -
-

@REM - NetBackup checks if the mail script (NetBackup\Bin\nbmail.cmd)
exists.  -

@REM - If the script exists, NetBackup runs it passing three parameters
on     -

@REM - the command line:
-

@REM -
-

@REM -      %1 is the recipient's address
-

@REM -      %2 is the subject line
-

@REM -      %3 is the message file name
-

@REM -
-

@REM - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

@REM -
-

@REM - A public domain SMTP mail client for NT called BLAT is available
at:    -

@REM -
-

@REM -      http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/blat.html
-

@REM -
-

@REM - Here's how to use BLAT with the NetBackup NT server.
-

@REM - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

@rem

@blat %3 -s %2 -t %1 -i NetBackup -server <enter your exchange server
name here > -q -mime

@rem

@REM - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - -

@REM - The -i option designates the originator's address, you may change
this  -

@REM - or omit it altogether (the default is the sender's address
specified    -

@REM - when BLAT was installed).
-

@REM -
-

@REM - The -server option is given as an example, you need to determine
the    -

@REM - correct name of your SMTP server.  This option may also be
omitted      -

@REM - (the default is the server specified when installing BLAT).
-

@REM -
-

@REM - You may use any mail program you want, as long as it has a
command line -

@REM - interface that can be used to send mail.  Just substitute a call
to     -

@REM - your favorite mail program for the call to BLAT above.
-

@REM -
-

@REM - After modifying this script to suit your situation (make sure you
are   -

@REM - calling a valid mail program and the call is not commented out),
-

@REM - activate it by moving it to the NetBackup\Bin directory.
-

@REM - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Sending email via Windows SMTP Service?

Hi all,

We're setting up Vaulting for a client's NetBackup 6.0 MP4 installation,

and looking to configure emailing from the Windows 2k3 Master server.

Have looked at Blat, but the client (gov) refuses to touch anything 
without a support organisation they have vetted behind it.

Saw mention on this mailing list of setting up mailing out using the 
Windows SMTP Service, but my guys are unsure if this is really feasible.

(We know it'll have to be configured such that nbmail.cmd somehow ends 
up transferring the outgoing mails using the SMTP service.)

Does anyone have experience/pointer/hints/code/anything on how to get 
this happening?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
