Looking for a component to send emails & SMS messages in D7 & D2007.

Would prefer to have a well known component author like Dev Express, LMD, or
such but all suggestions are welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
David

Come on, no one is using email or sending SMS messages to cell phones in
their app?  Smile

Sending email is a basic socket function that almost any of the major
component sets can handle - Indy (best known) and Synapse (what I use)
for example. As for SMS, this is mostly a hardware issue rather than a
component one. Personally I use Synapse for this as well because I use
an RS232 serial link to send AT commands to the cellular modem that
sends the SMS. If you were sending SMS via a web based gateway instead
then you would probably use an HTTP component.

Hove you tried searching the borland newsgroups, I seem to recall questions of this nature being asked there. I think it was in thirdparty but I've zapped that from my machine.

I'm using the ICS free component set for email (also for FTP).  You
register the product by sending the author a real snail mail picture
postcard.

To send SMS I'm using an SMS gateway server (e.g. in New Zealand -
pcsms.co.nz ) and using the same email software (or M$ Outlook) I
simply send an email to the phone number with the message in the
subject or body.

e.g. to my cellphone in Rarotonga, +68270366@pcsms.co.nz

Have a look at this article by Bob Swart.

There are many sites which provide sms gateways.  We've been looking at:
