I'm trying to get users of a standalone app to send me a message. Can they send using my mServer, "smtp.earthlink.net" or do I need to some how learn how the example gets the user's mServer , "???" to have this work?
I'd be very surprised if they could use your SMTP server. That would imply that anyone could use it - and it would be open to all kinds of spam abuse.
Note that although I set the mPort to 25, I didn't use it :-)
As far as I know, you can pretty much depend on SMTP servers using port 25 these days - but don't rely too much on that .... So it should be as simple as asking them for their smtp server name. Of course, not all of them will know .... not sure how you can solve that.
Have you considered trying to invoke their email program to send the message; like a browser does with a "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ? Not that I have any idea how you'd go about doing that :-(
Thanks for all that 200+ work.
My pleasure - I wanted to try out these libraries anyway, so this was a good trigger to getting round to it. And if I hadn't been so dumb in one particular way, I'd have got it within 20 tries :-)
