Is there a newer version of the Email object?

[RGBreality]

Hey, folks!

Is there a newer version of the Email object than version 1.5? When I use the Email object during run-time, it crashes my application. I have confirmed with my IT guy that the SMTP connection settings are proper. Indeed, he has confirmed that the application is not connecting to the mail server at all. However, I am able to write an e-mail to a hard drive location without any problems.

So, I began wondering if there may be a newer version of the E-mail object than version 1.5? Or does anyone have any ideas why sending the e-mail crashes the application? It is strange, since I can successfully write the e-mail to the hard drive; so it seems to be something to do with sending the e-mail.

Thanks!

Do the examples in the folder under MMF2D/Examples run or crash for you?

Hey, Jeff!

Well, positive news: I can successfully connect and send e-mail using the SMTP example program.

So, now I'm trying to convey these settings to my application.

One thing I see that the sample program uses which I don't have in my e-mail configuration is an X-Mailer setting. Do you know what X-Mailer does? (My IT guy doesn't know what it does, either.)

Another question: Do these settings need to be placed under one action, or can they be placed into a group, then have each of these configuration settings placed into one action (so that they can be rearranged and edited more conveniently)?

Thanks again!

Do you know what X-Mailer does?

> Message > Headers > Set X-Mailer
This identifies which mail program sent the message. (ex: My Cool Mail App)

Headers>Get X-Mailer
Gets the X-Mailer tag from the header. (this is the name of the mail program used to send the message)

Thanks, LB! I was looking into that, too.

I see from the sample SMTP program that the X-Mailer setting is set to "Demo Mailer." So, I guess this isn't that important of a setting for mail configuration? It's more used to help filter spam?

Maybe, I don't know. You could always try to use it anyway, it could be crashing because it doesn't exist.
