Re: HTML and email

[2702NET]

I hear ya...and it may not be as bad as *most* of the time, either 
(though the server side approach [as Troy, I think it was, pointed out] 
is still your best approach)...I've noticed that Earthlink will let me 
send to a non-Earthlink mail server multiple times before the messages 
begin to be blocked. Not sure why that is - but I can generally squeeze 
out a few emails - at least w/that particular ISP. Keep in mind that 
you'll also probably be blocked from sending from within most corporate 
networks as well (your connection attempt will time out or a "host is 
unreachable" error will be returned)...just something to keep in mind 
in case you're demoing your deliverable in an office LAN environment.

server for sure, but i have to give them some opportunity, donīt you

and aldo have to please the client by showing them that one way or the 
other
you CAN send the mail, though most of the times obviously this wonīt be
possible, but anyway, the mail option is just that and is not key to 
the
development, so...
THANKS AGAIN!

Hi Diego,

Yeah, you can have them enter their own mail server...just keep in 
mind
(depending on your audience) some may not know their mail server.

Now i get the point, thanks "2702Net", though i have a valid email
account it wont work because the end user ISP would block the use of
another mail server, and i just canīt work that around, can I? Well i
guess ill have to have an error check (suppose i get some error when
this blocking happens) and if it occurs then ill have the user assign
its own smtp adress. That should work, right?

Actually, the name of the "sender" account is not the biggest
issue...it's the *mailserver* being used to relay the mail that will
getcha. Many ISPs require you to use their mailserver and only their
mailserver. So, it might work fine on your own machine (since your
mailserver, whatever it is, works w/your ISP)...however, it may not
work at all for much of your target audience due to the 
above-described
issue...that is, if you're using the Email Xtra approach. If you 
wanted
to go nuts and make this method work you could set up a mailserver 
(or
get someone to do it for you) that will listen on an alternate port
(other than 25)...you change the port you're sending through using 
the
DirectEmail Port() function.

The thing is the traffic wonīt be too high and
i have a pop3 account i would be using as "dummie" account for the
sending process, so i guess it wonīt be any pot 25 blocking issues
here.
