I have a venerable app which does some automated work on a schedule, and emails a report.

The app uses Shao Sean's libSmtp, dating back to 2005. It's typically set up using an organisation's internal SMTP server to send email.

Now my client has switched to using Google Apps for business, and asked me to switch the app to using a gmail account they've set up for the purpose to send emails. Entering the credentials they provided fails with a nessage inb the log "530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first".

Evidently this is all part of the shift to encrypting all communications (so it's the FBI's fault!). I don't think libSMTP handles this bit of the protocol - and I don't know whether it even can be done through LiveCode, since my understanding is that this requires SSL/TLS support.

Is it possible to send email over SMTP with TLS using LiveCode?

Has anyone managed to send emails by SMTP to gmail server?

Many thanks,

Ben
