For Linux servers, I use this script as my --postexec for email notifications
Code:
#!/bin/bash
PLAYER1=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER2=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER3=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER4=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER5=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER6=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER7=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER8=someguy@someemail.com
sendmail
-fme@my.isp.com -FDomserver $PLAYER1 $PLAYER2 $PLAYER3 $PLAYER4 $PLAYER5 $PLAYER7 $PLAYER8 <<EOF
From: Nick's Dom3 Server <me@my.isp.com>
Subject: Game has hosted
Please connect to server XXXX port YYYY to play your next turn
.
EOF
For windows servers, I install windows scripting host and then use this vbs script
Code:
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objEmail.From = "yourusername@yourdomain.com"
objEmail.To = "player1@somedomain.com;player2@somedomain.com"
objEmail.Subject = "Game XXX has hosted!"
objEmail.Textbody = "Please connect to server XXXX port YYYY to play your next turn!"
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtpserver.yourdomain.com"
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
'These lines are for if your ISP's SMTP server required authentication
'They can be commented out if not needed
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "yourusername"
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
