How to message self anonymously from Matlab?

I am working on a machine where several users can log in and use the same account. We all collaborate on same code and use 100% of CPU and GPU at any given time so this arrangement makes sense. However, this makes it hard to use sendmail from Matlab because you do not want to enter your credentials for any mail service into any script or config settings. You could try to use sendmail as an anonymous server but most email hosts will bounce you because they think you are spam.

So this leads to my question. Has anyone figured out a good reliable way to message self from Matlab without poroviding any security credentials? This could be a text message or a phone call or any other means of messaging, so long as it is highly likely to go through and does not require security credentials. I just want to get updates on how my multiple day simulations are running without logging into the machine and without giving away my security credentials to anyone else who might log into the box.

Would this work?

Send Text Message to Cell Phone - File Exchange - MATLAB Central (mathworks.com)

The first code lines in that m-file are:

% YOU NEED TO TYPE IN YOUR OWN EMAIL AND PASSWORDS:

mail = '[e-mail]'; %Your GMail email address

password = 'sendtextmessagematlab'; %Your GMail password

In other words, I would need to provide security credentials for this to work. That's something I can do already with e.g. sendmail. My question was specifically how to send a short notice anonymously.

Hi Michael,

I can understand that you want update from your simulation on a different system without sharing your credentials. For doing you can create a SQL server where the timely update progress from MATLAB is stored and then you can access the same database by connecting to the same server from different system

• For writing on SQL Database, please refer to the following documentation :- https://in.mathworks.com/help/database/ug/database.odbc.connection.sqlwrite.html
• For connecting on a SQL database from different system you can, please refer to the following reference: -https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/lesson-2-connecting-from-another-computer?view=sql-server-ver16

I hope this information was helpful!
