Send PDF Wipe Report via Email

[ghost]

Hello,

This was discussed in previous conversations including comments from myself @PartialVolume and @martijnvanbrummelen in some threads, but I would like to get status or update as I have been out of loop for a while.

As example, Lsoft aka Killdisk, in thier .WIM file embeds the information when building the ISO. Killdisk offered a free service of a predefined SMTP server and a small form is used with a file attatch option for Wipe Report.
There is also an option to use custom settings.

I believe there are small or single file PHP/C/other micro email programs where the pdf reports can be sent. If a config file is put in user space like the PDF Config settings in Nwipe then they could be easily modified as required.
I think Killdisk allow for use of setting several ports for sending the emails.

This allows for large wiping tasks for the PDF Wipe Report to be quickly sent to a business shared group email like:
[email protected] where they can quickly be sorted and saved to SharePoint or other certificate repository and elliminates manually copying files from USB Flash drives, transposting USB Flash drive to primary IT user device, creating email and finally attaching file and or to certificate repository.

This would work wouldn't it? With the SMTP Config settings in same location as PDF Settings? https://github.com/somnisoft/smtp-client

No work has been done on sending emails direct from nwipe, ShredOS uses ftp (and sftp in the coming release) but also doesn't send emails.

Yes, smtp-client would work in nwipe. I'll fork it and look at maybe implementing it.

OK , Sounds good. Thanks you.
BTW, Your PDF work ended up looking and working out great. Great work on it Marti as it greatly enhances Nwipe with that capability,proof of work, and verification of wiping.

That's great. Marti? It was me that wrote the pdf code. 😁

Oh PV, I am sorry...
I know you both have worked on different aspects of Shredos and Nwipe as one of the apps in suite.
@PartialVolume I apologize... I thought since it is in the Nwipe repo Marti was working on the PDF stuff.

It turned out great though and a feature really helpful in getting the wipe info to a printable/verifiable method.

Thanks for implementing the PDF option.
I do hope to see the email options added.

It really will help to make it a steamlined app: Boot app, start wipe, print & email certificate.

Anyways gents, I appreciate the work, coding, and fast responses you offer to noobs like me posting.

Thanks Wayne
