Use the SMTP Email VIs to send electronic mail, including attached data and files, using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). LabVIEW does not support authentication for SMTP. You cannot use the SMTP Email VIs to receive information.

Note  The SMTP Email VIs, except the SMTP Email Message (Small) VI, use UTF-8 encoding to send electronic mail.

Refer to the Internet Mail Consortium for more information about SMTP industry standards.

The VIs on this palette can return SMTP email reply codes.

Refer to the examples\comm\smtpex.llb file for examples of using the SMTP Email VIs.
