Hi, I need to send an email via MATLAB and I've read the instructions for sendmail and lots of answers around here. I've tried 3 email providers and I can't really use any of them:
- Gmail: I can only send email when I deactivate my anivirus
- Hotmail and Yahoo: Error using sendmail (line 171) Exception reading response; Connection reset
- Hotmail and Yahoo (antivirus off): Error using sendmail (line 171) Exception reading response; Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?
__________________________________________________________________________
Here's the code
mail = 'user@service.com';
password = 'passwordgoeshere';
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server','smtp.server.com');
setpref('Internet','E_mail',mail);
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Username',mail);
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Password',password);
props = java.lang.System.getProperties;
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth','true');
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class', 'javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory');
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.port',port);
sendmail(mail,'Test from MATLAB','Hello! This is a test from MATLAB!')
__________________________________________________________________________
I've used the following variables:
- Gmail: smtp.gmail.com port=465
- Hotmail: smtp.live.com port=465 and port=587
- Yahoo: smtp.mail.yahoo.com port=587
__________________________________________________________________________
Since deactivating the antivirus is not a good option, can anyone help me solving this?
Thank you

You may not be able to. I have one "lab" computer platform where I use one mail service where I can do it, but if I try to send via the standard company email using Outlook (our company email program), the Firewall prevents it and there's no combination of settings I can use to get around it. Web-based emails probably consider what you're doing as spamming and may have things in place to prevent it, regardless of your MATLAB settings.
