I’m sure there is a need out there to send messages to MSN programmatically. So I’m gonna find out how plausible it is and whether I can find a use for it myself :)

I recently came across a simple PHP class for sending MSN messages called sendMsg written by FanaticLive. Below is a form that uses this class to send a message from the ‘sender’ to the ‘recipient’ that you enter.

In order for this process to work, the specified recipient must have the sender in their MSN contact list (approved or not) and the recipient must be online. If you don’t want to enter your email and password into this form (and I totally understand if you don’t) then try using the test user. Only thing is you’ll have to temporarily add the test user – msn.tester@mindtrip.co.nz – to your contact list on MSN.

So go on, try it… you know you want to :)

Now I have to come up with a cool idea for why I might actually want to programmatically send MSN messages… hmm….
—Update: Looks like some cunning spammers have decided to use this form to send spam out, not that it’s working. So HA spammers, take that. I’ve logged all your IP addresses and the fact that none of your spam got through. Anyway, I’m not impressed, spammers suck. So thanks to them, I’m taking this form down. If anyone wants to see the code for it, just leave me a message and I’ll send it to you.
