So, here I am writing to you asking whether any of you know a way that we
can get the required SMTP and POP3 (we will distribute the program to
others) information through code so that we do not have to ask the
students for information that they may have significant difficulty
understanding and obtaining. We are working exclusively on WINDOWS
platforms.
For the "guessing" solution see the other emails. As an engineer I get
goosepimples when I read about such solutions...
As far as I can see the only "serious" thing you could do is, since you're on
pure Windows(tm) anyway, use some kind of Windows specific system wide email
interface to send the email (MAPI? I'm not a Windows person at all but I
*think* I remember some trojans are/were using this to send their spam.)
Of course that might depend on the people having Outlook (Express?)
configured, and I don't know if a Python wrapper for this interface exists.
These days, more and more people (on windows), don't have an email
client installed, they use a webinterface for mail ( and other programs),
so the only reliable way seems to setup your own mail server.
cheers,
Stef
