1Introduction

Quectel EC2x&EG9x&EM05 modules provide SMTP application interface for sending emails. This

document is a reference guide to all the AT commands defined for SMTP.

This document is applicable to following Quectel modules:

EC2x (including EC25, EC21, EC20 R2.0 and EC20 R2.1)

EG9x (including EG91 and EG95)

EM05

1.1. Introduction about SSL Type

There are three kinds of connections between SMTP client and SMTP server:

Without SSL

SSL

STARTTLS

Some SMTP servers do not support connection without SSL, while some can support all of them.

Customers can choose one kind according to the mail service provider.

These three kinds of connections can be set by <ssltype> parameter in AT+QSMTPCFG="ssltype".

1. If <ssltype> is 0, it means “without SSL”. In this case, SSL function will not be used, and emails are

sent with insecure connection. The port of SMTP server depends on mail service provider, and it is

the port 25 usually.

2. If <ssltype> is 1, it means “SSL”. In this case, emails are sent with SSL/TLS encrypted SMTP. The

port of SMTP server depends on mail service provider, and it is the port 465 or 587 usually.

3. If <ssltype> is 2, it means “STARTTLS”. In this case, the normal insecure connection can be

upgraded to secure connection through STARTTLS function, for sending the mail data. The port of

SMTP server depends on mail service provider, and it is the port 25, 465 or 587 usually.

1.2. The Process of Sending Email

As EC2x&EG9x&EM05 modules support SMTP protocol, customers can send emails easily by

EC2x&EG9x&EM05 SMTP AT commands. The general process is as follows:

Step 1: Configure and activate a PDP context.

1) Configure <APN>, <username>, <password> and other parameters of a PDP context by

AT+QICSGP. Please refer to Quectel_EC2x&EG9x&EM05_TCP(IP)_AT_Commands_Manual

for details.

If QoS settings need to be updated, configure them by AT+CGQMIN, AT+CGEQMIN,

AT+CGQREQ and AT+CGEQREQ commands. For more details, please refer to

Quectel_EC25&EC21_AT_Commands_Manual, Quectel_EG9x_AT_Commands_Manual and

Quectel_EM05_AT_Commands_Manual.

2) Activate the PDP context by AT+QIACT.

3) Configure the PDP context ID for SMTP by AT+QSMTPCFG="contextid",<contextID>.

Step 2: Configure SMTP server and user account.

1) Configure SSL type by AT+QSMTPCFG="ssltype",<ssltype>. If <ssltype> is SSL or STARTTLS,

customers should choose an SSL context by AT+QSMTPCFG="sslctxid",<sslctxID> and

configure the <sslctxID> by AT+QSSLCFG="ciphersuite",<sslctxID>,<ciphersuites>. For more

details about these commands, please refer to Quectel_EC2x&EG9x&EM05_SSL_AT_

Commands_Manual.

2) Configure SMTP server by AT+QSMTPCFG="smtpserver",<srvaddr>,<srvport>. <srvaddr> and

<srvport> parameters depend on the mail service provider.

3) Configure account information by AT+QSMTPCFG="account",<username>,<password>.

4) Configure sender information by AT+QSMTPCFG="sender",<sender_name>,<sender_email>.

Step 3: Edit the email content.

1) Configure the recipient email address by AT+QSMTPDST.

2) Configure the subject of email by AT+QSMTPSUB.

3) Configure the body of email by AT+QSMTPBODY.

4) Add attachments for the email by AT+QSMTPATT. The attachments can be RAM, UFS or SD

files. And the files can be uploaded to RAM, UFS or SD card by AT+QFUPL. After sending email

successfully, the file should be deleted by AT+QFDEL. For more details of these commands,

please refer to Quectel_EC2x&EG9x&EM05_FILE_AT_Commands_Manual

Step 4: Send email.

Send the email byAT+QSMTPPUT. It will take some time to send the email depending on the total

size of attachments and network status. When the sending action ends, “+QSMTPPUT:

<err>,<protocol_error>” will be returned.

EC2x&EG9x&EM05_SMTP_AT_Commands_Manual 7 / 31

Step 5: Clear the email content.

AT+QSMTPCLR will clear the email content configured in Step 3. The attached files should be

deleted by AT+QFDEL. For more details of these commands, please refer to

Quectel_EC2x&EG9x&EM05_FILE_AT_Commands_Manual. Then repeat Step 3 and 4. If the

SMTP server information and user information need to be changed, then Step 2 to Step 4 should

be repeated.

If emails have not been sent for a long time, such as 30 minutes or even longer, then the PDP

context should be deactivated by AT+QIDEACT=<contextID>. For more details, please refer to

Quectel_EC2x&EG9x&EM05_TCP(IP)_AT_Commands_Manual.

1.3. Description of Data Mode

The COM port of EC2x&EG9x&EM05 modules has two working modes: AT command mode and data

mode. InAT command mode, the inputted data via COM port will be treated asAT command, while in data

mode, it will be treated as data.

Inputting “+++” or pulling up DTR (AT&D1 should be set first) can make the module exit from data mode.

To prevent the “+++” from being misinterpreted as data, the following sequence should be followed:

1) Do not input any character within 1s or longer before inputting “+++”.

2) Input “+++” within 1s, and no other characters can be inputted during the time.

3) Do not input any character within 1s after “+++” has been inputted.

When AT+QSMTPBODY is executed, the COM port will enter into data mode. All inputted data will be the

body of email. If the inputted data reaches the <body_length> or the time reaches <input_time>, the port

will exit from data mode automatically. If the inputted data is less than the <body_length>, customers can

finish editing body by inputting “+++” or changing DTR level from low to high before <input_time> reaches.

In such case, the COM port cannot reenter data mode by executingATO command.
