Determine the content of an e-mail message

The alert message by e-mail contains a standard message supplemented with time of detection, computer description from the configuration file and sound source. 

If desired, the subject and content of the e-mail message can be adjusted. Additional configuration options are available in the configuration file RTVSilenceDetection.exe.config.

Note: the configuration file is of the XML type and must be a valid XML file. If the XML is not valid, the application will not start.

For the subject of a mail message, the following two keys can be added to the configuration file:

<add key="SilenceAlarm.Email.Subject" value="Dit is het onderwerp bij een stilte bericht"/>
<add key="Modulation.Email.Subject" value="Dit is het onderwerp indien audio terug wordt gedetecteerd"/>

The first is at silence, the second at modulation during alarm.
If the value is empty, a default subject is given.



For contents of a message (body), add these two keys to the configuration file:


<add key="SilenceAlarm.Email.Body.File" value="SilenceAlarm_Email.txt"/>
<add key="Modulation.Email.Body.File" value="Modulation_Email.txt"/>


The first "value" is a reference to a text file whose content is used as a body in case of silence. The second for modulation detection.

  • The value is a filename and can be entered without path. Then the file is searched in the application folder. Or else with path (e.g. c:\stilte\body_alarm.txt).

  • The content must be text and may be HTML.  The mail is sent as HTML body.

  • If the file is not found or cannot be read, the default text will be used.

In the text as subject variables can be used:
