Sending mail in Visual Basic

[Shashank]

Hello Readers! I am trying to send mail in VB using WinSock. I get the
message "must issue STARTTLS command first" from pop.gmail.com. PLz
tell me how to solve this problem, or any other known server that does
not need the STARTTLs command for sending mails via it.

Regards!

Re: Sending mail in Visual Basic

You can use SMTP ocx, connect it to any smtp server and you can send email
very easy.

Re: Sending mail in Visual Basic

I looked it up because I'd never heard of STARTTSL.
Apparently you check for it in the response to EHLO.

These two may help:

/starttls.html+s mtp+%22starttls %22&hl=en

This explains the server conversation you need to set up:

I haven't found a clear explanation of what is
actually required, though. Apparently you have
to be prepared to execute the transaction with SSL.
