So you are implying there is a command line activated "mailer" on Windows Server 2016? Could you please expand a bit on that, it seems like a way to solve my problem if it is like so. I searched on the net and found this: https://tecadmin.net/send-email-from-windows-command-line/ However after I went through all of the steps outlined there on my actual Server 2016 powershell command line I received after some time (maybe a minute) the following: ... PS H:\> $SMTPClient.Send($Email) ...<wait for a minute or more>... Exception calling "Send" with "1" argument(s): "The operation has timed out." At line:1 char:1 + $SMTPClient.Send($Email) + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SmtpException PS H:\> So how can I utilize this successfully from my FPC console program? If it works using "Powershell" how can I then execute the commands from my program using TProcess? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
