How to Send Emails through Code Unit

ckndr47

Hi,

I want to send email through my code unit, but i dont want to use MS Exchange or Outlook for that; that means i want my code unit to send emails internally without using any tool like outlook.

Please provide me that OCX and also sample code if you have. I need to do tht in a very short time.

Thanks in Advance,

fl

Hi,

I had the same problem a few months ago. So, I looked around and I found a file blat.exe on www.blat.net. This is infact a smtp mailer which you can use for free. I even changed my mail codeunit so that this file is allways used instead of outlook. It works very fine and very quickly.

Have you looked at the downloads of this site?

SMTP Mail v1.6 - Stabilized
SMTP OCX v1.6

I am using ocx provided by SMTP Mail v1.6 - Stabilized.

But that email stuff is not working; i am unable to figure out what exactly the problem is becuase with same SMTP Host name i am sending emails from my webbased application and its working fine. But over here i have no clue. This is wht i have written inside my codeunit, please guide me up if i am missing out anything.

smtp.NewMessage('me@mysmtpdomain.com','Testing');
smtp.SetToAdress('testuser@test.com');
smtp.SetFromAdress('me@mysmtpdomain.com');
smtp.SetHost('MYHOSTNAME');
smtp.Send(); 
MESSAGE('%1',smtp.Send()); // this message is returning NO
MESSAGE('%1',smtp.WasSuccessful()); // this message is returning YES
MESSAGE('%1',smtp.LastError()); // this message is return nothing

Thanks in Advance

You have to set few more parameters...

On a example from http://www.nowecor.de/users/stephan/ind ... mtpocx.htm

here is a minimum of coding for successfull email sending (at least it worked for me).

SMTPMail.NewMessage('stephan.stapel@tu-clausthal.de','Subject of the mail');
      SMTPMail.SetWorkMode();

     SMTPMail.SetHost('gb');
     SMTPMail.SetUserID('coolesau');

     SMTPMail.AddLine('This is a test.');
     SMTPMail.AddLine('The second line.');
     SMTPMail.AddLine('Third line');
     SMTPMail.AddAttachment('c:\test.txt');
     SMTPMail.SetToAdress('stephan.stapel@tu-clausthal.de');
     SMTPMail.Send;

     IF NOT SMTPMail.WasSuccessful THEN
       MESSAGE(SMTPMail.LastError);

As you can see, you missed SetUserID parameter (which is required) and if you are testing, you should at least put one line of text (body)

We are using it at a customer and it works fine.
The code we use is like this:

ocxSmtpMailXElement.NewMessage("E-Mail Address","Subject");
ocxSmtpMailXElement.SetWorkMode();
ocxSmtpMailXElement.SetHost("Email Host");
ocxSmtpMailXElement.SetUserID("E-Mail User ID");
ocxSmtpMailXElement.AddLine("Body Line");
ocxSmtpMailXElement.SetToAdress("To email");
ocxSmtpMailXElement.AddCCRecipients("CC email");
ocxSmtpMailXElement.AddBCCRecipients("BCC email");
ocxSmtpMailXElement.AddAttachment("Filename");
ocxSmtpMailXElement.Send;
IF NOT ocxSmtpMailXElement.WasSuccessful THEN BEGIN
END;

Thanks a million, both codes are working fine.
So nice of you.

I'm having trouble to send mail with this OCX but with From parameter .

I must give it only real mail address (something@something.com). I SMTP communication I can give in a header a "From: My Name <somethin@something>" line and with that I can send mail with more descriptive From field...


Has anybody managed to send a more descriptive From field with this OCX?

well, I have to say that, althought it's working perfectly what it should work, lack of options gives me no other option than to search for another solution. Or to turn on a Delphi and update ocx

Allright then do update :P, if you find any other solution .
Thanks

Once again, look at http://www.blat.net/syntax/syntax.html. This utility has much options.
