I've always connected to their NNTP newsgroup servers at: news.atozed.com Clearly that was not affected by the web forums. All old and new posts are still there - and available to be searched. Lots of useful information too. Whenever I posted questions there, I got answers the same day or in 1 day. Very good support.

Indy also has a ton of working examples, very simple to use components, and the support is fantastic (just like FPC and Lazarus). The extra good news is that there are tons of examples and solutions available with a quick internet search - even if those solutions are for Delphi, they apply exactly the same for FPC/Lazarus. The latest Indy code can be found here: https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy10/trunk ps: You don't have to install the Indy components into Lazarus, you can use them via code only without problems. That's what I do. Simply set your search paths, or compile the runtime lazarus packages and associate the indy package as a dependency of your project. A internet search _will_ give you your answer, but if you really are stuck, I have working example code I can share. My programs can sent emails via Gmail, Yahoo, Office365 or any other ISP.

Re: [Lazarus] Sending e-mail from within Lazarus
Try the latest trunk version of Synapse code:
http://sourceforge.net/p/synalist/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/
You'll also need OpenSSL binaries:
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries
Here is a snippet of a working connection routine, although tested in
Delphi only:
uses
// "ssl_openssl" unit is required to use SSL / TLS
mimemess, mimepart, synachar, ssl_openssl;
type
TMailerSecurity = (
msNONE,
msSTARTTLS,
msSSLTLS
);
procedure TMailer.Connect(const AHost: String; APort: Integer;
ASecurity: TMailerSecurity; AAuthenticate: Boolean;
const AUsername, APassword: String);
begin
SMTP := TSMTPSend.Create;
if AAuthenticate then
begin
SMTP.UserName := AUsername;
SMTP.Password := APassword;
end;
SMTP.TargetHost := AHost;
SMTP.TargetPort := IntToStr(APort);
SMTP.AutoTLS := (ASecurity = msSTARTTLS);
SMTP.FullSSL := (ASecurity = msSSLTLS);
SMTP.Timeout := 1; // 10 seconds
if not SMTP.Login then
raise EMailer.CreateSMTP('SMTP.Login', SMTP);
if AAuthenticate then
if not SMTP.AuthDone then
raise EMailer.Create(sMailerNotAuthenticated);
end;

Denis

In addition to Carlos' suggestion, and if you use Windows, you could use Blat [1] or even Powershell [2] to do this. It will not be "native", but it works. I used to use perl (I have been completely addicted to it for non-GUI stuff for decades now) or "The Bat!" in the past for this, but I don't know if "The Bat" still exists.

[Lazarus] Sending e-mail from within Lazarus
Does anybody have a working example of sending e-mail from a Lazarus program through their ISP's mail server (which requires SSL/TLS) that they'd be willing to share with me? I've been trying to follow Michael's writeup for using Synapse, I'm getting a timeout error from deep within the Synapse code, and I don't know whether it's something that I've screwed up or some kind of incompatibility with the mail server - my ISP, of course, will only tell me to use Outlook or similar. :( If I try to step through with the debugger, I get a socket error of 110. The version of Synapse I'm using is (I think) 40.1, at least it's the version downloaded via the online package manager. I'm using Lazarus 1.8.2 and FPC 3.0.4 as downloaded from SourceForge.
