How to make ams work with bitvise and send mail

A very specific question!

AMs (Application Modules) are a feature of Bitvise SSH Server that allow you to run custom applications or scripts within the SSH session. To make an AM work with Bitvise and send mail, you'll need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites

You have Bitvise SSH Server installed and configured.
You have an AM written in a language that Bitvise supports (e.g., PowerShell, Python, or C#).
You have a mail server set up and configured to send emails.

Step 1: Create an AM

Create a new file with a .am extension (e.g., sendmail.am) and add the following code:

# Sendmail.am
param (
    [string]$To,
    [string]$Subject,
    [string]$Body
)

# Set the mail server settings
$smtpServer = "your.mail.server.com"
$smtpPort = 25
$fromAddress = "[email protected]"

# Create a new email message
$email = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage $fromAddress, $To, $Subject, $Body

# Send the email
$smtpClient = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient $smtpServer, $smtpPort
$smtpClient.Send($email)

This is a simple PowerShell script that sends an email using the System.Net.Mail namespace.

Step 2: Configure Bitvise to run the AM

Open the Bitvise SSH Server configuration file (bitvise.ini) in a text editor.
Add the following lines to the [AMs] section:
```
[AMs]
sendmail = C:\Path\To\sendmail.am
```
Replace C:\Path\To\sendmail.am with the actual path to your sendmail.am file.

Step 3: Test the AM

Start a new SSH session to your Bitvise server using a client like PuTTY.
Run the AM by typing am sendmail in the SSH command prompt.
Fill in the required parameters (e.g., To, Subject, and Body) and press Enter.

The AM should send an email using the mail server settings you specified.

Tips and Variations

You can modify the AM script to accept additional parameters or use different mail server settings.
You can also use other programming languages like Python or C# to create the AM.
If you're using a different mail server protocol (e.g., SSL/TLS or IMAP), you may need to modify the AM script accordingly.
You can use Bitvise's built-in scripting language, bsh, to create an AM. For more information, see the Bitvise documentation.
