Command Line Control

Gammadyne Mailer can be controlled from the command line (a.k.a. DOS prompt) to perform various tasks, including:

  • Run a send or receive operation.
  • Add or remove recipients from the mailing list.
  • Add email addresses to the Exclusion List.
  • Lookup a mail server (MX record).

Uses for the Command Line

Support for the command line allows the user to improve automation.  For example:

  • Windows Task Scheduler can automatically launch a command line on a schedule.
  • By creating desktop shortcuts to command lines, routine tasks can be made as simple as a mouse click.  When adding or removing a recipient, the email address can be acquired from the clipboard, or specified on the command line.
  • Third party programs can launch a command line in order to control Gammadyne Mailer.
  • Batch files can launch Gammadyne Mailer for a series of different send and receive operations.

Command Line Overrides

When performing a Send Operation, the following settings can be overridden on the command line:

  • From: header
  • To: header
  • Reply-To: header
  • Subject: header
  • CC: and BCC: headers
  • Text Body filename
  • HTML Body filename
  • Mailing list location
  • Database name/user/password
  • Database table or SELECT statement
  • Database WHERE clause
  • Pre-Send Script
  • Attachments

Pseudo-Projects

Command line mailings can also be initiated using a "Pseudo-Project", which contains all the information needed to perform a mailing.  Pseudo-projects are plain ASCII text, which means they can be easily generated by another program or script.  Following is an example of a pseudo-project:
