How to get Options>Misc>Mail Alert Messages To address programmatically

[sh_daggett]

Hello,

I would like to use the email address set in Options>Misc>Mail Alert Messages To address from within code. Is there any way to get that value? (I don't want to set it, just read it.)

My intention is to use it in SendMail.

Thanks.

It's been a while, but doesn't the "From email address" in SendMail usage not matter in this situation?

It can be anything....and the mail that was setup in tools->options->misc is where it is sent from.

But I'm guessing you really want the user name to uniquely identify who sent it probably to you?



You could set up your own email parameters and password, that's available standard c# with a few #includes. I did it back in nt 6.5.

Hi Sledge,

You're right, I think the from address doesn't matter in my case. I was just trying to find a way to make it so the user would not have to enter his email address twice for the "To:" part. (Once in options and once in properties.) I have set up a property for this, but I was hoping...

"From email address" in SendMail does matter since the remote mail server may not allow inbox hosted on another mail server (i.e. strictmail.com where I have the default [email protected] may not allwo sending from [email protected])

So the question is still actual: how to obtain the default email address in NinjaTrader?

Write your own routine if need be.

The question is not how to send email. The question is how to find out the email specified in options here Options>Misc>Mail Alert Messages To address, to avoid unnecessary input.
