Sanford Aranoff | I wrote an email program using dbisam. Suddenly it cannot
connect for outgoing email. It receives email properly. Any suggestions? |

"Jeff Cook" | Hi Sanford
While I haven't written a full email application, our main application does have outbound email, so I've done the bit that you are having trouble with. I use ICS components to do the SMTP stuff and find that the only time that users have any problems (80 odd sites, probably hundreds of users) is when something changes at their ISP. Basically you only need to get the SMTP Hostname, port, from and password right and it all works. We recently had a flurry of activity because a major ISP in NZ suddenly decided that SSL connections would be the default connection. Our software hasn't been changed to changed to do this (ICS-SSL has only recently become freely available), so users had to ask the ISP for non-SSL connections. Chances of being DBISAM related? ... zero! - unless you are doing something odd with ports maybe???

Sanford Aranoff | They changed the port from 25 to 587.
I get authoriz error. I can get Outlook Express to work, changing the port. Why can't I get my Delphi program to work?

But I have no idea - don't know how your program works and it is all a bit out of my (small) area of expertise - hence my use of "black box" components - I don't know how they work and don't really care as long as they do! -- Jeff Cook Aspect Systems Ltd www.aspect.co.nz + Joan and Jeff Cook The Cooks Oasis www.cookislandsoasis.com |

"Raul" | As other have said it's not DBISAM related.
However 587 is a submission port so you do need to authenticate and likely also use SSL for the connection so refer to how to configure this in your IP components. You could try port 465 as well as alternate to see if it's open Raul "Jeff Cook" <jeffc@aspect.co.nz> wrote in message news:1DEF0571-F090-4D33-B73A-F92EC405AA9A@news.elevatesoft.com... > Sanford Aranoff wrote: > >> They changed the port from 25 to 587. >> >> I get authoriz error. >> >> I can get Outlook Express to work, changing the port.
