For some reason, sendmail has fallen out of favor, (likely because of it's conceived difficult setup), and most linux distros now use postfix, which in my opinion isn't any easier to configure, but it does allow for a wider range of options. If you check your linux boxes, you'll probably see postfix as the mta, and it can indeed be called to transfer mail from programs. I don't have any examples of this, but the documentation says it can be done. I don't know if there's another program application programmers use, but with some digging, you should be able to get it to work. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I had great troubles a year or so ago when I tried using some serial packages based on synapse because they brought in GUI stuff that made it impossible to compile a simple program aimed at running as a service on a server style linux box... Yes, because you were using the wrong package. If you use the correct package (laz_synapse.lpk), there will be no issue. See e.g. here: https://sourceforge.net/p/synalist/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/ But you can install it using the Online package manager. In the online package manager, DO NOT use the pl_synapsevs package. You myst use the laz_synapse (Synapse 40.1) package. It does not have GUI dependencies. I use it myself in a headless FPC-created server running on linux, since many many years, and use it in a Delphi-created server also running on linux, so I'm very confident it works as described :-) Michael. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

And this application is precisely the one I am working on now (after having replaced the LazSerial and SynSerial etc packages with a serial class I wrote myself using the FPC built-in serial unit. And using Indy10 for the networking parts since I have used that for some 20 years or so. So only if the emailing synapse is guaranteed GUI-free can I use it. I may even use some external program for mailing by using TProcess to run it But what? THere used to be something called sendmail or similar in Linux but right now I cannot see it on my boxes. And I am uncertain if it can do SSL logins and accept attachment files. Anyway, I received a reply from Remy L concerning Indy and that there is a fix for the oipenssl version available, which he has not tested. I will try to do that test in the near future. It would (if working) require no extra coding in my application just an update of Indy10 itself. :) -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
