To summarize the problem: When trying to switch from Indy to ICS using a company standard "e-mail unit" with a single function: SendEmail(host, address...) that takes care of creating a status form with the smtp component, our applications were starting to freeze on some machines at our customers when emails where to be sent the second time. We have now discovered that: Yes, the error do not arise when using WSocketForceLoadWinsock or having the smtp component on the main form (or creating a dummy smtp component at runtime and let it exist while the application is running). So we've found a workaround but feels a bit unsatisfied not finding what causes the problem. As I've mentioned before I'm not very initiated in the fields that ICS is handling for me and now I feel like a real rookie because I'm not that initiated in dll-using either... You say that it has no adverse effect using WSocketForceLoadWinsock in my case: but doesn't the use of WSocketForceLoadWinsock on applications startup mean that the dll is loaded the whole time the applications is running? I don't know if that has some bad effects like bigger memory usage or so but at least it doesn't feel that satisfying to have the dll loaded all the time even if the application is not going to use it. Also if I have to manually load the dll on application startup the whole idea to use one simple function to send emails get lost. That was why I used the some what strange (I admit that) work around to create an application wide dummy smtp component the first time the function is called. The dummy makes it possible to call the email function as many times You want when the application is running and hopefully it is deleted when application is closed?!
