[Cocodrilo]

Hi all clickers!

Anyway... to a register/login system, if you've forgotted your password, is it possible then to use moosock(or other) and send a Mail to the requested accounts mail (if the mail is stored on the hosters pc, like using my register&login system)?

I dont have mmf pro

Ive heard it is possible to use MooSock to send/recv email, I havent seen an example yet tho,

I have seen a MSN Messager program made in MMF that uses MooSock.

Yes is is possible. You have to google the SMTP protocol. Once you've learned it, you can try ask the e-mail server for it's e-mails. You probably also need to learn how to parse the text the server sends back to you (with String Parser 2).

The very first result on Google has alot of info, but you don't need all of it. Just try a few of the examples mentioned in the document. Experiment <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Send something to the server and see how it responds to it, you can't break anything. Once you know how to get a desired result by sending some stuff, you can automate it by sending stuff to the server when clicking a button and so on.

If you just want to send mail, then there is a PHP mail function that allows you to do so. So you could use that, save it as a .php page, upload to your server - then get moosock to connect to that page and an email should be sent? Or use another extension other than moosock.

Guys, you can just use the email object in mmf. Works great for me. I've just set it up today as a matter of fact to send out forgotten passwords, etc.

So far no hickups on my side...

I don't think the mail object has been converted to MMF2 yet though
