I have an issue with customers frequently, where the contact does not know what their email server is, who provides it, or even who the IT company is that maintains it. (Frankly it shocks me to see how many people run businesses with a complete lack of any technical expertise whatsoever).
What I would like to offer the customer is an easy to set up SMTP server to act as a relay. The problem then becomes encryption. Sarah's library does not do any encryption, and all attempts by anyone (including myself) have failed to get this to work even with the shell. If you have something that has gotten around this (you mentioned a hash) I'd be interested in it and would be glad to pay a fair price for it to use in these situations. *Bob Sneidar* | IT Technician Integrated Office Technology | 12150 Mora Drive, Unit 2, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 *p* 562-236-9200 | *f* 562-236-9222 | *e* bobsnei...@iotecdigital.com<mailto:bobsnei...@iotecdigital.com> <mailto:bobsnei...@iotecdigital.com> | *w* www.iotecdigital.com<http://www.iotecdigital.com/> <http://www.iotecdigital.com<http://www.iotecdigital.com/>> /PrintWorks MPS /|/ Toshiba /|/ Konica Minolta/ / / I don't know if this will help the OP's situation, but here I have a number of apps that need to send email notifications, and some of them are running on systems that have no email server installed. Most of these are for server monitoring so I'm the only recipient, but maybe the general idea may be useful: I set up a CGI on one system that I want the emails to be sent from (which happens to also be written in LC, but it could be Perl, PHP, Python, bash, etc.) which accepts a recipient address, subject, and body, along with an obscure hash used for authentication, and puts those together to send the email from there. The CGI itself is named very obscurely (e.g. something like "gfdRRth88ewLYKss.cgi"), so it's unlikely to be guessed by any spiders. And even if it were, anyone attempting to use the CGI for spamming would also need to figure out the hash inputs, and there are enough zombied Win installs that there are easier ways to hijack machines; this one just isn't worth the effort :) Not bullet-proof (nothing is), but reasonably secure and super-easy to use. Now I have a single location for notifications that I can use from any client or server process that needs to send email, without even needing to have an email server installed. Sending notifications is a one-liner anywhere I need 'em. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
