Answered Send SMTP with authentication

Hello, I need to send mails via SMTP from a Progress program.

I started trying with sockets-smtp.p, but our smtp server requieres authentication.

Is there a way to insert the SMTP user name and password in sockets-smtp.p or another sample code?

Progress 9.1C , Windows 2003 server, Windows 7 and 8 workstations. (We have already bought Openedge 11.3, but the current ERP in 9.1 is still working)

Thanks in advance.

Hi. Does it have to be a pure Progress solution or could you shell out to the OS to send the email?

Here is an open source Windows command line tool to send emails http://sourceforge.net/projects/smtpmail/ I've used it in past projects as its was just easy to impliment.

Also because it comes with the C# source code it is actually possible to recompile the code under Linux using mono.

Hello, I kept searching and found smtpmailv5_8c.p, that is part of a great project in http://freeframework.sourceforge.net/

(Too bad it has not updated since years)

It did the trick, my problem is now send a PDF attachment (TXT, CSV and others text files going well). I'll try more today)

Thanks for the link, I'll check it.
