Spread the love

Here I’d like to explain version 2 of the EMailSender library, significant evolution to version 1, with support for Arduino with w5100, w5200, and w5500 ethernet shields enc28J60 clone devices, and support for esp32 and esp8266.
You can also add attachments loaded from storage devices like SD, SPIFFS, o LittleFS for esp8266.

You can refer to version 1 on this library Send emails with esp8266 and Arduino

Introduction

A simple method to notify a problem is to use email, so I created a library to do It.

Support Forum

Send email with attachments esp8266 esp32 library

This library uses the SMTP:

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a communication protocol for electronic mail transmission. As an Internet standard, SMTP was first defined in 1982 by RFC 821, and updated in 2008 by RFC 5321 to Extended SMTP additions, which is the protocol variety in widespread use today. Mail servers and other message transfer agents use SMTP to send and receive mail messages. Proprietary systems such as Microsoft Exchange and IBM Notes and webmail systems such as Outlook.com, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail may use non-standard protocols internally, but all use SMTP when sending to or receiving email from outside their own systems. SMTP servers commonly use the Transmission Control Protocol on port number 25. (cit WiKi)

For example, I use a Gmail dedicated account; I create a new account because you must reduce Security to use It with an external program.

Library

You can find my library here, or just search for EMailSender on the Arduino IDE library manager.

To download.

Click the DOWNLOADS button in the top right corner, rename the uncompressed folder EMailSender.

Check that the EMailSender folder contains EMailSender.cpp and EMailSender.h.

Place the EMailSender library folder in your /libraries/ folder.

You may need to create the libraries subfolder if it’s your first library.

Restart the IDE.

Usage

Constructor: The default value is quite simple and uses Gmail as an SMTP server.

EMailSender emailSend("smtp.account@gmail.com", "password");

If you want to use another provider, you can use a more complex (but simple) constructor

EMailSender(const char* email_login, const char* email_password, const char* email_from, const char* name_from, const char* smtp_server, uint16_t smtp_port );
	EMailSender(const char* email_login, const char* email_password, const char* email_from, const char* smtp_server, uint16_t smtp_port);
	EMailSender(const char* email_login, const char* email_password, const char* email_from, const char* name_from );
	EMailSender(const char* email_login, const char* email_password, const char* email_from);
	EMailSender(const char* email_login, const char* email_password);

email_login: login to account SMTP
email_password: password account SMTP
email_from: email of the sender
name_from: the user name of the sender
smtp_server: server SMTP
smtp_port: SMTP port

You can also manage di parameter in realtime with these commands:

	void setSMTPPort(uint16_t smtp_port);
	void setSMTPServer(const char* smtp_server);
	void setEMailLogin(const char* email_login);
	void setEMailFrom(const char* email_from);
	void setNameFrom(const char* name_from);
	void setEMailPassword(const char* email_password);

Now respect to the v1.x library, you can note that isSecure flag no more exists

isSecure = false: if false BearSSL allows for ‘insecure’ TLS connections (only for >2.4.2 esp8266 core)

but you can manage It with

void setIsSecure(bool isSecure = false);

Another parameter that you can set post constructor is

void setUseAuth(bool useAuth = true);
void setPublicIpDescriptor(const char *publicIpDescriptor = "mischianti");

The first permit excludes the authentication handshake, the second change the HELO message identification.

Updated: 02/01/2021 (v2.1.5)

The other two additional configurations are

	void setEHLOCommand(bool useEHLO = false)
	void setSASLLogin(bool isSASLLogin = false)

The first change HELO command in EHLO, is needed by Postfix SMTP servers.

The second activates SASL login, so the login and password are sent all in one line.

You must connect to WIFI :P.

Basic example with Gmail SMTP

Create a message with the structure EMailMessage

    EMailSender::EMailMessage message;
    message.subject = "Subject";
    message.message = "Hi, How are you<br>Fine.";

Send message:

    EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send("account_to_send@gmail.com", message);

Then check the response:

    Serial.println("Sending status: ");
    Serial.println(resp.code);
    Serial.println(resp.desc);
    Serial.println(resp.status);

Example output:

Connection: ESTABLISHED
Got IP address: 192.168.1.104
Sending status: 
1
0
Message sent!

You can send to a list of emails and select a CC or CCn; for example, send to 3 email

    const char* arrayOfEmail[] = {"<FIRST>@gmail.com", "<SECOND>@yahoo.com", "<THIRD>@hotmail.com"};
    EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(arrayOfEmail, 3, message);

or to 3 emails, the first as To and the last as CC

    const char* arrayOfEmail[] = {"<FIRST>@gmail.com", "<SECOND>@yahoo.com", "<THIRD>@hotmail.com"};
    EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(arrayOfEmail, 1, 2, message);

or first as To, second as CC, and third as CCn

    const char* arrayOfEmail[] = {"<FIRST>@gmail.com", "<SECOND>@yahoo.com", "<THIRD>@hotmail.com"};
    EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(arrayOfEmail, 1,1,1, message);

esp8266

I usually use WeMos D1 mini for my test

You can find WeMos D1 mini here WeMos D1 mini - NodeMCU V2 V2.1 V3 - esp01 - esp01 programmer

To send an email with esp8266 with builtin WiFi is quite simple, but you must pay attention to your core version because if you have a core version lesser or equal to 2.4.2, you must select a specified #define.

To select your device, you must go on EMailSenderKey.h library file and replace this line

#define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ESP8266 	NETWORK_ESP8266

#define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ESP8266 	NETWORK_ESP8266_242

Backward compatibility with library v1.x

To grant backward compatibility with library version 1.x, you can also uncomment the identical define of the old library.

So if you have an esp8266 core 2.4.2 or less, you must uncomment this line

// Uncomment if you use esp8266 core <= 2.4.2
#define ARDUINO_ESP8266_RELEASE_2_4_2

Send simple email

So here is an example of a simple EMail sent with a GMail provider (configure GMail as described at the end of the article).

Send an email with attachments.

To send attachments, you must select a storage device. To simplify the management, we are going to use SPIFFS integrated filesystem; refer to this article on how to put data on SPIFFS “WeMos D1 mini (esp8266), integrated SPIFFS Filesystem“, but you can select LittleFS also “WeMos D1 mini (esp8266), integrated LittleFS Filesystem“.

Updated: 19/03/2021 (v2.3.0)

Select LittleFS filesystem

From version 2.3.0, you can switch from SPIFFS to LittleFS. You must only change this line in the file. EMailSenderKey.h .

#define DEFAULT_INTERNAL_ESP8266_STORAGE STORAGE_SPIFFS

#define DEFAULT_INTERNAL_ESP8266_STORAGE STORAGE_LITTLEFS

and set the correct storage

    fileDescriptor[1].storageType = EMailSender::EMAIL_STORAGE_TYPE_LITTLE_FS;

The core of the code is the generation of structure to pass the information to load and stream the files.

    EMailSender::FileDescriptior fileDescriptor[2];
    fileDescriptor[1].filename = F("test.txt");
    fileDescriptor[1].url = F("/test.txt");
    fileDescriptor[1].storageType = EMailSender::EMAIL_STORAGE_TYPE_SPIFFS;

    fileDescriptor[0].filename = F("logo.jpg");
    fileDescriptor[0].url = F("/logo.jpg");
    fileDescriptor[0].mime = "image/jpg";
    fileDescriptor[0].encode64 = true;
    fileDescriptor[0].storageType = EMailSender::EMAIL_STORAGE_TYPE_SPIFFS;

    EMailSender::Attachments attachs = {2, fileDescriptor};

    EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send("<receipe@gmail.com>", message, attachs);

The fields EMailSender::FileDescriptior are pretty comprehensive but pay attention to encode64, which specifies if you want to encode all the content, this is useful if some special character is not supported.
For images, if you don’t specify the encode64 probably, they arrive with an artifact.

But pay attention; encoding a big file requires a bit of time.

The field mime specifies the mime type of the file you want to be attached. Here are some examples of existing mime types.

Then you must specify the storageType, in general, we only support SD and SPIFFS; for Arduino, only SD.

The filename and url the filename is the name that appears to the receiver, and the URL is where the file is located in the FS selected.

Than in the EMailSender::Attachments you must specify the number of attachments and set the array of EMailSender::FileDescriptior.

The resulting code is this.

ESP32

You can find some model of esp32 I use for my test ESP32 Dev Kit v1 - TTGO T-Display 1.14 ESP32 - NodeMCU V3 V2 ESP8266 Lolin32 - NodeMCU ESP-32S - WeMos Lolin32 - WeMos Lolin32 mini - ESP32-CAM programmer - ESP32-CAM bundle - ESP32-WROOM-32 - ESP32-S

ESP32 is very similar to esp8266, and SD and SPIFFS without FS_NO_GLOBALS work correctly because use the same FS.h File structure.

So we can now repeat the consideration of esp8266 implementation.

Send an email with attachments.

To send attachments, you must select a storage device. To simplify the management,

we can use SPIFFS integrated filesystem. Refer to this article on putting data on SPIFFS “ESP32: integrated SPIFFS FileSystem”.
We can use LITTLEFS integrated filesystem. Refer to this article on putting data on LITTLEFS “ESP32: integrated LittleFS FileSystem”.
We can use the FFat integrated filesystem. Refer to this article on putting data on FFat “ESP32: integrated FFat (FAT/exFAT) FileSystem“.

Select LittleFS filesystem _{Updated: 13/04/2021}_(v2.4.1)

From version 2.4.1, you can switch from SPIFFS to LITTLEFS. You must only change this line in the file. EMailSenderKey.h .

Email to a distribution list

From version 2.1.1 distribution list is supported, so you can send emails to multiple accounts and select if you want to send as To, CC or CCn.

Here an example

/*
 * EMailSender library for Arduino, esp8266 and esp32
 * Arduino Mega and UIPEthernet send example with Sendgrid provider
 * to a distribution list
 *
 * Pay attention you must set in the library
 * #define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ARDUINO 	NETWORK_ENC28J60
 * for UIPEthernet
 *
 * #define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ARDUINO 	NETWORK_W5100
 * for standard Ethernet

How to use a Gmail account

By default, you can’t use a Gmail SMTP account, and there are two ways to activate these features.

Allow less secure apps to access your Gmail account

Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.

To disable this security feature:

Sign in to Gmail
Click here to access Less Secure App Access in My Account.
Next to “Allow less secure apps: OFF,” select the toggle switch to turn ON.

This setting may not be available for:

Accounts with 2-Step Verification enabled: Such accounts require an application-specific password for less secure apps access.
G Suite users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.

For G-Suite users: Enabling less secure apps to access accounts (deprecated)

Sign in to your Google Admin console (Sign in using an administrator account, not your current account.
Click Security> Basic settings.
Under Less secure apps, select Go to settings for less secure apps.
Select the Allow users to manage their access to a less secure apps radio button in the subwindow.

Once you’ve set Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps to on, affected users within the selected group or Organizational Unit will be able to toggle access for less secure apps on or off themselves.

G-Suite admins: Enforcing access to less secure apps for all users

Use this setting when you want to ensure that access by a less secure app is available to all for a limited time, such as for upgrades.

Sign in to your Google Admin console. Sign in using an administrator account
Click Security> Basic settings.
Under Less secure apps, select Go to settings for less secure apps.
In the subwindow, select the Enforce access to less secure apps for all users radio button.

Once you’ve set Enforce access to less secure apps for all users to on, affected users within the selected group or Organizational Unit will not be able to toggle access for less secure apps off themselves. You will have to set the setting back to Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps to allow them to toggle access for less secure apps on or off themselves.

Create an application password

Google account security 2 Step verification and application password

Go to the Gmail security settings page: https://myaccount.google.com/security
First, you must enable 2-factor identification.
Then you need to create a password for this application. The password is a 16-character string, copy it and use it as your regular SMTP Gmail account password!
