Wes, Sending mail to exchange from VFP requires one of two methods. 1. Setting up an authenticated SMTP gateway into exchange (assuming the client is local) which doesn't have to be SSL but you can use clients based on CDO, MAPI or Blat with VFP.
or 2. Using EWS (Exchange Web Service) driven by VFP which can access exchange either locally or remotely. This uses standard DLL's supplied by M$ and is well documented but beware that there are differences when using Exchange 2010 from 2008 in terms of communicating and authenticating onto Exchange which can trap the unwary. Personally I would go the route (1) way. I have option (2) coded in C# but lifting it onto VFP would not be a great problem. -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wes Wilson Sent: 17 October 2013 13:20 To: [email protected] Subject: VFP 9 email issues Received this from a customer: I think, "email", is the next project I ask you about. Specifically, I hear of problems, from time to time, regarding smtp emails out of vfp9 that bounce off of the latest version of Exchange. For example, one account uses Exchange 2013 (in the cloud), which apparently requires SSL encrypting. But the smtp email sent out of vfp9 just does not work. Anyone familiar with this?
