I spend some time helping a friend with a small office setup. a number of bat files run every night that back up their important to a NAS and the NAS is synchronised to OneDrive It would be good if at the completion of the execution of those bat files an email could be sent to me so I can look at the output from the backups.

Trying to find an easy way for a bat file to send an email. They are a Gmail user and I have not been able to find an easy way to access Google's SMTP server. But their internet connection is provided by spark so I thought to be able to access the spark SMTP server shouldn't I.?

In a previous site I was able to use a little freeware tool called blat and access the exchange server on the internal Network but this little operation doesn't have its own SMTP server.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks
