Hi guys,  
I want to automatically generate emails on specific events.  
I am using the following script in ruby. It gives runtime error that  
parameter missing  
how do I go about it???

require ‘win32ole’  
myMail= WIN32OLE::new(“CDO.Message”)  
myConfig= WIN32OLE::new(“CDO.Configuration”)

#myMail=CreateObject(“CDO.Message”)  
myMail.Subject=“Sending email with CDO”  
myMail.From=“my email id”  
myMail.To=“receipients email”  
myMail.TextBody=“This is a sample scripting message.”  
myConfig.Fields.Item.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.persistent.co.in "  
myConfig.Fields.Item.smtpport= 25  
#myConfig.Update

#myMail.Send  
#myMail=nothing

How do you go about _what_?

Figuring out the missing parameter?

Sending mail some other way?

Is there a line number given with the “parameter missing” error?

Do you have working examples in JScript or VB Script o can use for a  
comparison? (Try MSDN for sample code.)
