sending email from microsoft exchange account using matlab

Has anyone figured out a way t开发者_JAVA百科o use matlab to send email from a corporate microsoft exchange account w/o using activex? I found a solution that uses activex here, but unfortunately I don't have outlook installed on the machine that I want to send emails from.

I'm assuming that the corporate MS Exchange server and your matlab computer/server are on the same network/subnet. Like all email servers, MS Exchange supports SMTP protocol. You should be able to sending using standard SMTP libraries. I googled and found this simple example

Only issue I can see you running into is that the exchange server might now be open to relaying messages. Two options in that case are, determine if you need to authenticate, or ask for the exchange admin to provide your matlab computer/server with a "open relay connector" just for your computer (which further means you probably will have to have a static IP on that matlab computer).
