Basic examples
This example will show how to send email with configuration export every 24hours.
1. Configure SMTP server
[admin@MikroTik] /tool e-mail> set server=10.1.1.1 port=25 from="router@mydomain.com"
2. Add new script named "export-send"
/export file=export /tool e-mail send to="config@mydomain.com" subject="$[/system identity get name] export" \ body="$[/system clock get date] configuration file" file=export.rsc
3. Add scheduler to run our script
/system scheduler add on-event="export-send" start-time=00:00:00 interval=24h
Send e-mail to server using TLS/SSL encryption. For example, Google mail requires that.
1. configure client to connect to correct server
/tool e-mail set address=173.194.77.108 set port=587 set from=myuser@gmail.com set user=myuser set password=mypassword
2. send e-mail using send command with tls attribute set to yes
send to=myuser@anotherdomain.com subject="email test" body="email test" start-tls=yes
