Thanks for the example.
I have tried the following code:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
NMSMTP1.Host := 'smtp.xtra.co.nz';
NMSMTP1.UserID := 'mhoward';
// NMSMTP1.PostMessage.ToAddress.Text := '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
NMSMTP1.PostMessage.ToAddress.Add('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
NMSMTP1.Connect;
end;
and what I get is a "Null remote address".
I have tried the ICS components on Peter Harrison's www.devcentre.org by
just compiling the MailSend example which comes with them, and get an error
11001.
This suggests to me that there is something basic that I am overlooking, and
nothing to do with the code or the components.
Someone said to make sure that I am first connected to the MailServer. With
a single user system, I AM the MailServer - right?
Using Win 2000 Pro - if it makes a difference.
Any ideas?
Mark
