Attn. Steve Jorgensen - blat SMTP mailer

TC
Hi Steve

Some time ago I told you about the "blat" SMTP mailer. You said you would
look into it. I'm now planning on using it myself.

I've tried the DLL version, & am having a problem with the -install option.
It works - ie. it adds the relevant info. to the registry - but it never
returns from the call. Access instantly quits! There are no otherr error
effects or messages that I can see. So this would make it impractical to use
that option from within an application. I'm probably just doing something
wrong.

From memory ('cos I don't have Access on this PC), this is what I've tried:

private declare function sendit lib "blat.dll" alias Send (byval sCmd as
string) as integer
...
msgbox sentit ("-install <whatever - I can't quite remember!>")

- Did you get around to trying blat?

- If so, did you try the EXE or the DLL?

- Did you have any problems with either of them?

TIA,
TC

I did try Blat, and I had very good luck with it. I didn't use the DLL,
though (I don't know if there was even one available). I simply shelled
out to the executable.

My server has POP but only has SMTP if sending to my domain, and not other domains (such as hotmail). I'm therefore wondering, if anyone knows of any scripts etc, that will allow me to have a sort of "virtual" SMTP server on my site?. (I really can't afford to use a third party SMTP mailer). -- Regards Steven Burn

Has anyone played with MS's SMTP sample, mailer.exe? I downloaded the sample, and ran it, but keep getting the error "Failure sending mail". Where might I look for more information?

I feel almost embarrassed to post in this forum, but I can't exactly pick my clients' technologies, so here we are. I'm supporting a client project written in ASP.

I'm curious about the limits of my current method of sending out e- mail w/ php and possibly alternatives. Right now, I have a mysql DB of registered users. I have a PHP file accessed daily that runs through the DB and sends e-mails (SMTP mailer) w/ personalized messages (also from the DB) to the users. Right now I've only got a few e-mails it needs to send per day so it only takes a second or two for the file to load/run, but this may...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
