Hi all. I need a good Obj-C framework for sending email. I used
to use the Message.framework associated with Apple's Mail, but
they killed that a long time ago, sadly. Then I used Pantomime;
but it seems to also be abandoned, now, and it is crashing on 10.5
(and it was never terribly reliable anyway). Does anybody know of
a good replacement? I haven't had any luck trying to find one
using Google.
Keep in mind that many users may not have any SMTP server
configured -- an increasing number of users use webmail for
everything, and don't have a desktop client set up. And, in many of
these cases, they may be behind a firewall or ISP that blocks
connections to port 25 (SMTP) on all servers other than their own.
If you need to reliably deliver email from a user's machine, you'll
probably need to set up a gateway of some sort yourself, or have
them input SMTP settings manually.
Or you could do what we do and ask their mail client to deliver it
for us. The code we use for that is Open Source, and you can get it
here:

CSMail can also generate messages and pop them up in their client
ready for them to send themselves, which is something we use in some
circumstances as well.
(It's possible that we have updated CSMail a bit since the version
on that page, I don't know... but if someone's interested in using
it, I can check.)
I am definitely interested in using it, Alastair. This solution
would in fact be optimal for my purposes. If you could make sure it's
up to date, that would be great.
