Larry,
This works for me using our own SMTP server without the SSL option.
Note that we have a custom port and of course don't allow annonymous relaying.
| client |
client := SMTPClient new.
text := String streamContents: [ :stream |
stream << 'Subject: Test'; crlf; crlf.
stream << 'Hi there!'; crlf; << 'Sent from Pharo Smalltalk'; crlf ].
[
client user: '[email protected]'; password: '???'.
client
openOnHost: (NetNameResolver addressForName: 'smtp.beta9.be')
port: 2525.
client
mailFrom: '[email protected]'
to: #('[email protected]')
text: text.
client quit ] ensure: [ client close ].
client
If you have Seaside in your image, look at the references of SMTPClient, they
do something similar.
Next, I will subclass SMTPClient to try to do an SSL connection with our server.
Concerning the 'hanging': are you sure you cannot interrupt and enter the
debugger using CMD-. ?
What version of Pharo are you using and on which platform ?
