[phaworth]

Anyone got rev code to invoke SMTP to send an email?
Thanks,

Shao Sean's libEmail may do what you need:

Sarah has a nice smtp stack available, too, at :

Thanks guys, those stacks do just what I need.

In the interest of thoroughness, in case somebody else searches this topic and finds this thread...

Chipp Walters at Altuit has made a very easy to use stack using Sean Shao's library. You can find it on this page, along with lots of other potentially useful and helpful things:

Shao's stuff seems to have gone away.

I need stmp authentication so I don't think I can use Sarah's Library.

Is there a better way, or is Shao's and Sarah's the best way to send smtp mail?

Shao's stuff seems to have gone away.

See the link I posted immediately above your post. Chip's stack is still there and includes Shao's library.

Yes, I had downloaded Chipp's stack but it wouldn't send the email for me. I was hoping for some more documentation on Shao's stuff so I could see if it was just a different option that I needed to use. I had checked Authentication on Chipp's stack.

I need to use Port 26 and Chipp's example doesn't allow a different port, so I edited the source in the 2-3 places it mentions Port 25, but it still seems like maybe it's using port 25.

I will check on it some more and see if I can figure out what is wrong.

Thanks

It's definitely using port 26, but HostMonster isn't liking it.

<<< 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,


<<< 220 and/or bulk e-mail.


When I've seen this error before it was because port 26 wasn't being used, but it must be something else right now.

I think the problem must be on my side, something with authenticating or the way I'm setting it up.
