Hello everyone,
I'm kinda new to this forum, but i really would like to program some scripts.

I was wondering if someone has a scipt that sends an email  when a contact logs in.
If you could send me a script that does something like that, i should really appreciate it!

-edit-
It doesn't actually have to be an e-mail, but i just want to get a notification on my iPod, so when a specific contact comes online, i'll get a notification on my iPod.
i don't care in what way, the easiest will do. (I.e.; twitter, skype, mail, or whatever!)

This would work but would require you to have a GMail account.

js code:

---

function OnEvent_ContactSignin(strEmail) {
    if (strEmail === 'mygirlfriend@hotmail.com')
        SendMail(strEmail, 'Online');
}

function SendMail(strEmail, strStatus) {
    var strFromEmail        = 'joesmith@gmail.com';
    var strPassword         = 'Testing01!';
    var oEmail                 = new ActiveXObject('CDO.Message');
    oEmail.From             = strFromEmail;
    oEmail.To                 = 'johnsmith@hotmail.com';
    oEmail.Subject            = 'Contact status is now: '+strStatus;
    oEmail.TextBody            = strEmail+' status is now: '+strStatus;
   
    var oEmailConfig        = oEmail.Configuration;
    with (oEmailConfig) {
        Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")         = 'smtp.gmail.com';
        Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")     = 465;
        Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")             = 2;
        Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate")     = 1;
        Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl")         = true;
        Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")         = strFromEmail;
        Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")         = strPassword;
       
        Fields.Update;
    }
    oEmail.Send;
}

Note:
Using the method outlined by matty (CDOSYS), you can use whatever SMTP server you want, not just GMail...
of course you need to have a login and pwd on that smtp server though, and set the appropiate port variable....


PS: in case you have a (windows) hosting somewhere, chances are they also have an SMTP server; in most cases you can use that one too.
