How to send an email in lua?

Hello everyone,

I am sending an email through my app but the error happens.

Error Message:

Mail send failed timeout

Here is my code:

local smtp = require 'socket.smtp' local emailaddress = "me@fazilmir.com" function sendMessage(subject, body) &nbsp; &nbsp; local msg = { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; headers = { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; to = emailaddress, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; subject = subject &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; body = body &nbsp; &nbsp; } &nbsp; &nbsp; local ok, err = smtp.send { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; from = emailaddress, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; rcpt = emailaddress, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; source = smtp.message(msg), &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; user = emailaddress, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; password = '\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*', &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; server = 'fazilmir.com', &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; port = 25 &nbsp; &nbsp; } &nbsp; &nbsp; if not ok then &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; print("Mail send failed", err) &nbsp; &nbsp; end end function sendMailFunc() if isFormValidated then sendMessage(txtName.text.. " Sent A Query", "Some Message") end return true end

Server and port number are also correct because I already have used these settings with outlook.

Please any help would be highly appreciated.

I am also attaching a screenshot.

Thanks,

I did it with network.request.

Sharing my code. I hope it will help someone.

LUA FILE

local alert local emailParams = {} local function emailNetworkListener( event ) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if ( event.isError ) then &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; alert = native.showAlert ( "Error Occurred", "Some error has occurred", {"Ok"}) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; else &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if(string.find(event.response, "OK")) then &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; txtName.text = ""; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; txtPhone.text = ""; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; txtEmail.text = ""; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; txtMessage.text = ""; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; alert = native.showAlert ( "Mail Sent", "Your Query Has Been Sent", {"Ok"}) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; else&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; alert = native.showAlert ( "Error Occurred", "Something Went Wrong. Try Again!", {"Ok"}) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end return true end function sendMailFunc() emailParams.body = "name="..txtName.text.."&phone="..txtPhone.text.."&email=" .. txtEmail.text .. "&message="..txtMessage.text.."&securityValue=\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*" network.request("http://mywebsite.com/sendEmail.aspx", "POST", emailNetworkListener, emailParams) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return true end

ASPX FILE

//On Page Load NameValueCollection collectData = Request.Form; if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(collectData["securityValue"]) && collectData["securityValue"] == "\*\*\*\*\*\*") { //Here you can get all the values string name = collectData["name"]; string phone = collectData["phone"]; //sendEmail is a user defined function. string msg = ""; msg = sendEmail(collectData["email"], name, phone); if (msg == "OK") Response.Write("OK"); else Response.Write("ERROR"); }

That’s how i achieved this task.

Happy Coding…
