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

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???

Cheers

Jeff

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?

Most excellent question!  

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!

You are probably using indy or something else to send the e-mails, so ask in
a relevant forum.

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
