And this application is precisely the one I am working on now (after having replaced the LazSerial and SynSerial etc packages with a serial class I wrote myself using the FPC built-in serial unit. And using Indy10 for the networking parts since I have used that for some 20 years or so. So only if the emailing synapse is guaranteed GUI-free can I use it. I may even use some external program for mailing by using TProcess to run it.... But what? THere used to be something called sendmail or similar in Linux but right now I cannot see it on my boxes. And I am uncertain if it can do SSL logins and accept attachment files. Anyway, I received a reply from Remy L concerning Indy and that there is a fix for the oipenssl version available, which he has not tested. I will try to do that test in the near future. It would (if working) require no extra coding in my application just an update of Indy10 itself. :) -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
