I think from memory that was to do with the SMTP component being already connected to another server. Must have been a good reason at the time...

I understand your code works, but you probably want to remove this bit. The RFC doesn't require a pause t := now ; while (SMTP.Connected) and (now < t + 10 * (1/86400)) do // 10 Seconds sleep(10) ; Also, to get around the mailservers that block you ( e.g. when they don't know you, or think you're a spam bot) just relay the message through your own ISP e.g. if you're with orcon, use mail.orcon.net.nz, if you're with ihug, use their smtp server... As long as you have the correct destination email addresses (and aren't in fact writing a spam bot), the big mail servers can do the work for you David On 12/07/2011 2:01 p.m., David O'Brien wrote: Wrote this a while ago, but still works... procedure SendEmail(msgFrom, msgTo, msgSubject: String; msgBody: TStringList; Attachments: TStringList) ; var IdMessage: TIdMessage; SMTP: TIdSMTP; t: TDateTime ; i: Integer ; begin try if ASettings.SMTPServer <> '' then begin SMTP := TidSMTP.Create(nil) ; IdMessage := TIdMessage.Create(SMTP); try idMessage.Clear ; idMessage.From.Address := msgFrom ; idMessage.Recipients.Add.Address := msgTo ; idMessage.Subject := msgSubject ; if pos('<html', lowercase(msgBody.Text)) <> 0 then idMessage.ContentType := 'text/html' ; if msgBody <> nil then IdMessage.Body.Assign(msgBody) ; t := now ; while (SMTP.Connected) and (now < t + 10 * (1/86400)) do // 10 Seconds sleep(10) ; if Assigned(Attachments) then for i := 0 to pred(Attachments.Count) do TIdAttachmentFile.Create(IdMessage.MessageParts, Attachments[i]) ; SMTP.Host := ASettings.SMTPServer ; SMTP.Port := ASettings.SMTPPort ; SMTP.Username := ASettings.Username ; SMTP.Password := ASettings.Password ; SMTP.Connect ; try SMTP.Send(idMessage) ; finally SMTP.Disconnect ; end ; finally SMTP.Free ; IdMessage.Free ; end; end; except EmailFailed := True ; end ; end ; From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of John Bird Sent: Tuesday, 12 July 2011 1:47 p.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: [DUG] Email/SMTP code Anyone got a recommendation for the best (free) code/samples to drive Indy10 for sending an email with attachment -Indy10.2.3 -Send attachment -SMTP server and email addresses will be known I have tried a couple (eg AtoZed SendMail example) but it seems to time out connecting to the SMTP John __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 6285 (20110711) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 6285 (20110711) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
