SMTP mail send

I need to send some email messages without user intervention (no modal
dialogs) via a remote SMTP server. I would appreciate any pointers to
articles/books/links that describe to how to achieve this.

You could take a look at ST/X available at www.exept.de, which has
implementations of FTP, POP, SMTP and telnet, IIRC.

Or, take a look at squeak (squeak.org), where I'd be really surprised
if such a thing wasn't in there somewhere or available as add-on
package.

It's there - load Celeste (the GUI) and start hunting.  There is also a
binary solution from Microsoft, but it won't surprise anyone if I recommend
"doing it the hard way" to avoid hassles later.

Have a good one,

Bill

John, there's also a port of some Squeak SMTP stuff by Jose S. Calvo at
http://www.smalltalking.net/Goodies/Dolphin/.  It's for Dolphin 4, but IIRC
I played with it a bit in D5 and it seemed fine.

HTH,

Don

You might checkout the CDO package that comes with Dolphin.  Look at the
package comment for an example.  Actually the example needs a slight bit of
punctuation help before it will run.  There are some periods where there
should be semi-colons for a cascade.  I just played with it and it happened
to work for me.  I am going to use it to send a status report to me while my
computer works over the weekend.  Better it than me. ;)  If this is for a
deployed application it may be better to avoid the MS dependency as Bill
suggests.  SMTP can be simple, and there is example code out there.
