Has anyone done any work with the ChilKat libraries? I'm looking for an email library (really just an SMTP library), that supports SSL/TLS (GMail, etc). I'd like it as a "plain" DLL but most places only offer what they call "VC++ Libraries" and I'm not sure which versions are appropriate to try to use with PB (They have VC7,8, etc versions) nor how to make use of those libraries with PB..

If anyone has any other suggestions of a good SMTP library that supports SSL/TLS and works with PB please do let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Mitch,
Did you happen to ping ChilKat directly to see if they offer a DLL that would work with PB? I just happen to find their website today and they offer an awesome array of useful libraries.

No, I didn't contact them. I've tried that before with other companies and stopped doing it. Not very many places develop a non-ActiveX DLL anymore.

However, a fellow ASP member owns this company : http://www.weonlydo.com/ and he has sent me a "plain" DLL version of his wodSMTP component and an example in C. I've only just received these so I haven't had time to convert it all to PB but I see no reason it won't work.
