@sendmail ( ) command - Error -7

Print Post Print Post  
I am using AT and T Internet for POP mail. It requires me to use Port 465 for smtp server. How can I choose that with @SendMail () command?

The following code gave me error -7

var vFlag as Int


vFlag = @SendMail ("smtp.att.yahoo.com", "This is a test", "bnaik3920@sbcglobal.net", "bnaik1@gmail.com", "","","Hi, How are you?","bnaik3920@sbcglobal.net", "*******", "")

WriteLN ("Error Code= " + vFlag)

The code results in Error -7

-7 Failure from SMTP server after sending end of message tag.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Bharat,

On your computer in the C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\etc folder will be a file named services.
Open that file with Notepad
On or around line #25 will be a line that says
Quote:
smtp               25/tcp    mail                   #Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

Change that line to
Quote:
smtp               465/tcp    mail                   #Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

Save and close notepad.
Start Sesame again and try the SendMail command and let me know if it gives you any errors.

-Ray

I changed the services file smtp port from 25 to 465. Now I am getting -1 error. I also have Comcast account, I will try to send it using Comcast Mail sever and see. However, I can send mail from outlook express using AT & T.

Does AT&T require SSL?

I think they do. Do I have to do anything else to accommodate for that?

Hello Bharat,

The Sesame Sendmail command does not speak SSL at the present time, it speaks straight SMTP with authentication(username and password) if needed. You will want to find a SMTP server that does not require SSL to be used for connections.

SSL can be worked out using tunneling. Somewhere there is a write-up on how to use tunneling with Sesame client/server. The same concept could be applied to smtp.

I hope in the next version, Sesame will speak SSL. In the meantime, I will look for SMTP that does not require SSL. Unfortunately, Comcast and AT and T both require SSL and hence I will have to look for that somewhere else. Thanks Ray

Thanks Mark for showing a way. Can someone direct me to write-up on how to use tunneling with Sesame?

Same problem here. Some remote users can send email, some cannot. (seems to depend on the users connection to the internet)

Hopefully, there is a solution that all users (local and remote) can use to send mail.

At last got it to work. It works fine. I have an other web hosting account with EMWD (Web Host Company) and it worked perfect using their mail server. Thanks Ray and Mark for sticking with me until the problem is solved!!

I can't imagine anywhere there could be as good support as here on this board in particular and Sesame in general.

Implementing SSL would be a very nice feature in general for Sesame. Unfortunately, if we embed SSL in Sesame, we would need a federal export license to ship Sesame overseas. Fortunately, tunneling software is becoming fairly easy to setup and most of it is free. So there is less reason to actually embed it in any one program.

The tunneling stuff is near the bottom of this KnowledgeBase article.

My applications make liberal use of @sendmail, and the increasingly prevalent SSL requirement by major web hosting providers has proven to be a real irritant, forcing me to comment out my @sendmail's while I cast about for a solution (reading up on tunneling solution gave me a headache, and I couldn't get it to work).

Today I found a solution that doesn't involve having to move my webhosting, or buy a domain and hosting plan with an SSL-free email server.  The solution I ran across is www.smtp2go.com. ; For $2/month, I can send 50 emails a day through this server (for $5/month you get 300 emails/day capacity).  Here is what I did on the @sendmail line to get it to work ....

vEmail = @sendmail("smtp2go.com","WebExport","YourSMTP2GOaccountHereAsThe'From'Address","
TheToRecipient@Address.com","","","Here is a WebExport of " + vWeb,"","",vWeb)

Very simple solution.
