Sending email or text message alert? - styrox - Feb. 22, 2010 04:48 PM
This must be a FAQ, even if not directly related to proxomitron?
How can I send an alert message to an email/pager, for example if auto refreshing an auction site and waiting for a particular item to appear.
I can set an ALERT() to beep using the web replace, but an email alert would be much nicer. What would be the _best_ way to trigger this in a windows system:
- some mail command/script that gets executed from proxo (how)?
- a javascript with mailto: form manipulation?
- some method to bump it through a web-email service?
Sorry if this is covered somewhere, on a quick search couldn't find anything. There must be many people who would find this useful. :-)

Thanks, works like a charm! :-)
And to recap a summary for anyone else searching for this later, the pieces are:
- firefox with reload every addon
- proxomitron with a web rule using the $EXEC() with a .bat file
- a bat file using a bmail command line for sending mail
