Sending an email with _INetSmtpMail

[leoleolth]

Hi,

I don't know how to use the _INetSmtpMail function.

What is the smtp server name ?

Ask your ISP, they should provide one. Another alternative is you can use gmail smtp server and use your gmail account to auth.

Ok, I'd like to make a little portable client for mails, so what will be the name of the server smtp if many people use it ?

Hi,

SMTP server is a server for delivering emails. Most ISP providing this server for their customers. I'm also using _INetSmtpMailCom function for sending email, I use it with SMTP server provided by my ISP.

If your ISP doesn't provide SMTP server, you can:

1. find a open SMTP server

2. use gmail as your smtp server.

INetSmtpMailCom function has a ability to sending email using gmail account, you need to have gmail account, then pass your username and password to this function.

I think nowdays it's hard to find a reliable open SMTP server, so using gmail could be a good choice.
