SMTP Server

[Killswitch]

1. Can anyone name a free/open smtp server that i can use while testing out my program? I'd use my own but my ISP has blocked it.

2. Instead of writing a sendmail client could you connect to a server and use sendnetworkstring() to specify whom you want to send the message to?

for example:

opennetworkconnection(x,y)
sendnetworkstring("mail to: me@here.com")

?

Thank ye,

1.:
You could download an smtp server program from nonags.com (cool freeware site), and set it up.

2.:
Using sendnetworkstring() and all that stuff is programming the client

i send an mail from Pegasus to myself. I had an watc on the connection between my mail server and my client program. here:
(i removed the server adress with mailserver.com..)

Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you were saying in the last half of your message - will using sendnetworkstring() work?

[thefool]

I just show communication between an smtp server and an client.
If you look at the communication, you can see how the client tells the server to send mail.
