1. I can't see a definite problem but from the manual I see, > `smtpProfile` > If specified, the named SMTP profile defined in the Gateway will be used. If this keyword is present, the smtp, username, and password keywords will be ignored. [optional] So you can drop the `smtp = smtp1` from sendEmail. Part of the idea here is that you would not hard-code the settings in your script but just point to the SMTP profile. Then if you ever change from [Outlook.com](http://Outlook.com) you just have to edit that gateway's SMTP server setting and all scripts will continue to work. 1. Does smtp2 exactly match the name of the profile? 2. I recommend that you set the from address to something like `scriptname.projectname@servername.companyname.com` and construct this programmatically so that it auto-updates if the project is copied or moved to another server. It will be a big help in debugging quickly if the script goes rogue and your company's email gets blacklisted! 3. Tip: post code - not pictures of code - unless context is important in which case you can post both.
