True. Ideally, I would ask our systems people for a second e-mail
account. However, for various technical and policy reasons, I cannot do
that. I'm stuck with testing it against my own e-mail account. It's
just the way it has to be done.
But ultimately, that particular discussion is purely academic (bad pun,
I know). I'm looking for some input on my original operational questions:
1. If I do not trap the ServerError event, does the app choke and die?
2. If I do trap the ServerError event, does the SMTPSocket continue to
process and send messages in the mail queue? I see from the Language
Reference that when the ServerError event occurs, the e-mail is removed
from the queue.
Any input that folks can provide would be helpful. I can certainly ask
these questions on the NUG list if that would work better. I figured
I'd start on the GS list first, though, since it is kinda a learn-how
sort of thing.
Regards,
Ed

Well, like I said before, I'm mainly wanting to find out the order of
it's operations for now. What I need to know is if the SMTPSocket is
going to continue sending, or if it's waiting for me to restart the
process after a ServerError event.
Ideally, I'd test this myself, but I don't have any easy way to create
these actual conditions, short of depriving myself of e-mail for a
period of time, which I can't do for business reasons.
I don't see why... you can have two mail clients running at the same
time, you just cannot connect to the SMTP server at the same time. As
long as you are not sending email from your regular email client at the
same time as you are testing, you don't have to interrupt your regular
email. Receiving email is usually a different server/protocol so it is
unlikely that you need to worry about it.
The other possibility (and probably a good idea) is to ask your system
admin for a second email account for testing purposes.
