32 bit SSL SMTP

[RichAlgeni]

One minor issue I had with CryptLib was that it handled the network functions. I would rather allocate memory, call an encryptor process, then send the SSL data myself.

GnuTLS also looks good - and it is using UTF-8 by default!

[RichAlgeni]

I'll take a look at GnuTLS when I get a chance.

Upon further research, my desire for a process to just encrypt data, and to handle the networking myself was a bit hasty. Specifications involved show that a 'renegotiation' can occur at any time, and be requested by either side. This is better handled the way CryptLib handles it now.

It is all such a huge minefield.

Indeed!

It's easy enough to use the OpenSSL.exe to send an email to any SSL/TLS enabled email server like Gmail, but it's restricted to ASCII as far as I can tell, and I can't drive it with PB - it makes the connection and presents it's own Console Window. I can do all of the inputs manually from there but not programatically.

GnuTLS has a similar pre-defined exe, gnutls-cli.exe. That makes the connection but then errors-out. The most recent bugfix was uploaded last night so hopefully it is good, but like OpenSSL, the documentation is very poor if you do not already know a lot about the subject.

This dlls wirks for sending emails.
But does it works for receiving it?

[RichAlgeni]

It should work fine if you graft the SSL code into a POP3 program.

I tried the above code but both x86 and x64 version is not working.
In both cases "Password Failed: 534" is returned. The password is writen 100% correct.

Let's see your code.

Let's see your code.

I used the code as is in the zip file in the first post in the first page.
(http://www.rca2.com/dlls/Cryptlibdlls.zip)
I just wrote these settings:

Code: Select all

Define mailHost.s         = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"           ; SMTP Host
Define lenMailHost.i      = Len(mailHost)
Define mailPort.i         = 465
Define mailFrom.s         = "xxxx@yahoo.com";"
Define userName.s         = "xxx@yahoo.com"           ; your gmail account
Define lenUserName.i      = Len(userName)
Define password.s         = "zzzzzz"                 ; your password
Define lenPassword.i      = Len(password)
Define mailTo.s           = "vvvvv@yahoo.com"

Today, PB x64 with email_ssl64 shows only: "Unknown error code: 4294967264" and PB x86 with email_ssl32 shows only "Bad/unrecognised data format". PB 5.22 LTS is used in both cases.

Yahoo does not let you use an external email interface unless you pay for it.

Some months ago I could send mails with yahoo account but I couldn't recieve. Something changed?
The same problem happens with hotmail.

Code: Select all

Define mailHost.s         = "smtp.live.com";  "smtp.mail.yahoo.com";"smtp.gmail.com"               ; SMTP Host
Define lenMailHost.i      = Len(mailHost)
Define mailPort.i         = 465
Define mailFrom.s         = "xxxx@hotmail.com";"
Define userName.s         = "xxxx@hotmail.com"           
Define lenUserName.i      = Len(userName)
Define password.s         = "zzzz"                 ; your password
Define lenPassword.i      = Len(password)
Define mailTo.s           = "vvvv@yahoo.com"

Have you ever had it working for GMail? Have you tried it recently?

Have you ever had it working for GMail? Have you tried it recently?

I created a gmail account a few weeks ago. Yesterday it was the first time I tried it and the code returns "Password failed: 534". Some months ago I could send emails via hotmail and yahoo without SSL using this code:http://purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.p ... =send+mail but now it is not working either. Yahoo and hotmail tell these:

Code: Select all

> Ehlo MAIN-SERVER
> AUTH LOGIN
cmdID = 530  =  5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

gmail:

Code: Select all

> Ehlo MAIN-SERVER
> AUTH LOGIN
cmdID = 530  =  5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. o3sm2226849wiy.18 - gsmtp
