Hi, I dont know if this is the right section, but I need help with TCL script that would send  email when some kind of syslog event
happen. The easy way is use EEM applet, but I cant use that. The problem is, that I use authenticated SMTP server to send the mail.
And additionaly, password ends by @. So I cant use the default practice.
What I consider default practice is following:
defining variables:
event manager environment _email_to noc@isp.com
event manager environment _email_server usr:pwd@mail.isp.com
event manager environment _email_from usr@isp.com
using action:
action 1.0 mail server "$_email_server" to "$_email_to" from "$_email_from" subject "$_event_pub_time: Login via SSH" body "$_syslog_msg"
action 1.5 syslog msg priority 5 "Mail Sent"
But this doesnt work. So I need another way how to send email. My tip is following script

::cisco::eem::register_event_none

package require smtp
package require mime
package require SASL
 
proc send_simple_message {recipient email_server subject body user password} {
    
   
    set token [mime::initialize -canonical text/plain  -string $body]
    mime::setheader $token Subject $subject
    smtp::sendmessage $token -recipients $recipient -servers $email_server  -username $user -password $password
    mime::finalize $token
}

send_simple_message someone@somewhere.com localhost "This is the subject." "This is the message." admin cisco
 
But I dont know, if it can work, because its genar TCL script and it needs packages like smtp and such, so I would like to know
if there is some easy way to send email by TCL script, using authenticated SMTP server. I hope its understandable I have very
little experience with TCL, so I really dont know, any help appreciated.
