Re: [twsocket] SMTP mail queue component?

2010-10-04 Thread Angus Robertson - Magenta Systems Ltd
 A few years ago I built a Mail Queue Service (I called SMailQ). 
 This wasn't a queuing component, but an entire queueing service for 
 SMTP clients to connect and drop messages for sending to an SMTP
 server.
 This fully featured system may not be what you are looking for, 
 but I can share some of the code if you are interested, and at 
 least offer some ideas on how I solved certain problems.

Thanks for the comments.  Your tool does sound excellent, but is probably
intended for heavier use than I envisage.  I prefer to deliver a single
executable application where possible, to keep installation and support
simple.  I really want to use standard ICS components as well.   

I will be making the queuing component or code openly available, but if
you have any code you are happy to openly share I'm always happy to avoid
rewriting stuff.

Re: [twsocket] SMTP mail queue component?

2010-10-04 Thread Angus Robertson - Magenta Systems Ltd
  Has anyone built a component to queue email until an SMTP relay
  server is available?
 
 Not yet, but it's probably no big deal to write one.
 It could be a simple two files per item approach.

Simple is what I like, so I want to keep to one file per item, with all
queue or status information in another file, as I do with my MailMaint
POP3 tool.  The intention is only to have a few mail items queued.  

Thanks for adding SMTP SendtoFile, presumably for exactly this concept?

Yes, that was the idea. Actually I use some kind of a mail queue in one 
of my apps, but that isn't ready for the public. I prefered to 
queue an encoded, raw email rather than just the properties of TSmtpCli 
since file attachments might have changed in the meantime. The alternative 
would have been to copy file attachments to some temporary directory,
but that's a mess.
