How can i make noip duc send mail after running
No-IP's Dynamic Update Client (DUC) is a tool that updates your dynamic DNS (DDNS) record with your current IP address. By default, the DUC does not send email notifications after running. However, you can configure it to send email notifications by following these steps:
Method 1: Using the DUC's built-in email notification feature
-
Open the DUC configuration file (usually
noip_duc.conf
ornoip_duc.ini
) in a text editor. -
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
[Email] Enabled=true FromAddress=<your_email_address> ToAddress=<recipient_email_address> Subject=No-IP DUC Update Notification Body=The DUC has updated your dynamic DNS record.
Replace
<your_email_address>
and<recipient_email_address>
with your actual email addresses. -
Save the changes to the configuration file.
-
Restart the DUC service or run the DUC executable with the updated configuration file.
Method 2: Using an external email client
- Install an external email client on your system, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird.
- Configure the email client to send emails using your email provider's settings.
- Create a batch script or a scheduled task that runs the DUC executable and sends an email notification using the email client.
Here's an example batch script:
@echo off
rem Run the DUC executable
noip_duc.exe
rem Send an email notification using Outlook
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c "msg * "The DUC has updated your dynamic DNS record."
Replace the path to Outlook with the actual path on your system.
- Schedule the batch script to run at regular intervals using the Task Scheduler or a similar tool.
By following these methods, you can configure the DUC to send email notifications after running.
