WOW!! Chris! Way cool! May ten thousand kudoes swarm in your inbox!
Thank you so much for your efforts, and just two weeks after my ISP started insisting on SMTP only authentication, too! Your timing was great! A couple clarifications on your "quasi-ReadMe" notes, please: >So if you run the hacked version, you get SMTP >Auth Login on all connections. Period. 1. Does this mean that POP authentication in Emailer has been supplanted by SMTP authentication? Or, to put it another way, if one chooses just to POP mail without sending mail, will the POP authentication still go to the POP server off the EmailAccount field after the "@" sign? >The auth routine pulls its data from the same place the POP ability >does. 2a. You mean "The [smtp] auth routine..."? >That means, it will use the same username and password you are >using to check email. 2b. Does the "same username and password" associated with the email account mean the "EmailAddress" field has to be the same as an email address associated with the smtp server listed in the "SMTP server" field? Or, to ask the same question by examples, which of the following four examples WILL or WILL NOT work with your new SMTP Emailer hack, as far as Emailer itself is concerned (leaving aside any limits the ISP may or may not place on things) as far as COLLECTING EMAIL and SENDING EMAIL? Example 1: connected to the internet via ISP.com with its SMTP and POP ISP.com servers Account Name: AnythingA User Name: AnythingB Email Account: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: UsernameISP-Password SMTP Server: SMTPserver.ISP.com Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Example 2: connected to the internet via ISP.com with its SMTP and POP ISP.com servers Account Name: AnythingC User Name: AnythingD Email Account: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: UsernameABC-Password SMTP Server: SMTPserver.ISP.com Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Example 3: connected to the internet via ISP.com with its SMTP and POP ISP.com servers Account Name: AnythingE User Name: AnythingF Email Account: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: UsernameXYZ-Password SMTP Server: SMTPserverXYZ.XYZ.com Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Example 4: connected to the internet via ISP.com with its SMTP and POP ISP.com servers Account Name: AnythingG User Name: AnythingH Email Account: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: UsernameISP-Password SMTP Server: SMTPserver.ISP.com Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. Is there anything in what you did that might make Emailer send its attachments more slowly than it did otherwise? ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
