Hi Matthias,

That is not quite correct.

Secure SMTP comes in two flavours, SSL and TLS.

If you are using SMTP over SSL, then you just need a URL starting with "smtps://" and you do not need the "use_ssl" setting. If you are using SMTP over TLS, then you need a URL that looks like "smtp://mail.mydomain.com:587" and you must use the "use_ssl" setting to invoke TLS.

I have taken the liberty to update Neil's LCMail stack with a few radio buttons, so that it generates the URL and adds the "use_ssl" setting only when appropriate. You can download it here:

https://downloads.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet/LCMail.livecode

As an aside, a similar concept applies when using FTPS in implicit or explicit mode:

If you are using FTPS in implicit mode, then you just need a URL starting with "ftps://" and you do not need the "use_ssl" setting. If you are using FTPS in explicit mode, then you need a URL that starts with "ftp://"; and you must use the "use_ssl" setting to invoke TLS.

Regards,

Charles

Hi Mark,

i just tried it with the stack from Neil Roger which is available here
http://techsupport.on-rev.com/LCMail.zip 
<http://techsupport.on-rev.com/LCMail.zip>
or an extended version, which includes also some FTP examples,here
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/q4oec8uu3pcdgfj/index.html 
<https://dl.dropbox.com/s/q4oec8uu3pcdgfj/index.html>

Are you referring to that sample stack?

I just tried it. I have no problems using it to send an email through one of my 
 HostM email accounts to my iCloud email address.

I am looking to replace sending emails via shell to one using the tsNet 
library. At first I had thought there was a var for the smtp port, but that’s 
just a server address setting (whoops).
I am using hostM on this project and I’m trying to configure through their mail 
host- I have the proper settings for outgoing mail server (587), mail username 
(which is just the address for the account), and password. The error message I 
get back is (56) Failure when receiving data from peer/returned from server.  
I’m just slogging through the tsNet Sample Sync Stack to speed things up since 
sending the email should be trivial compared to the data enclosed in the actual 
message. But, sometimes that’s how it goes:) Other than the Dictionary and this 
sample stack does anyone have a pointer to a simple example using this external 
with a hosted mail service?

thx,
mark c
