Will NT7 support SendMail thru SSL?

[kjackson]

It's clear from search through the forums that NT 6.5 SendMail does not support SSL.

However, most ISPs have not only required SSL to log into their own e-mail addresses (for example AT&T) but they also filter out port 25 so that we can't connect to external SMTP hosts. So, supporting SSL for SendMail is critical, if you want to send alerts or alert customers, etc.

Will NT 7 support this?

Thanks in advance,

Ken,

NT7 does support SSL and changing away from port 25.

If you need to use it in NT6.5 then just write the code below. You may find in the internet details and more samples. Just open an account on Google and use it's credentials in the code below:

 
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
 
 
.........BlaBlaBla.........
 
public static void SendGoogleEmail(string msgSubject, string msgText)
{
 try
 {
  string strID = "[email protected]"; 
  string strPassword = "yourpassword"; 
  string strEmailAddress = " [email protected] "; 
  string strEmailTo = "[email protected]";
 
  MailMessage mM = new MailMessage();
  mM.From = new MailAddress(strEmailAddress);
  mM.To.Add(strEmailTo);
  mM.Subject = msgSubject;
  mM.Body = msgText;
  mM.IsBodyHtml = false;
  mM.Priority = MailPriority.High;
  SmtpClient sC = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
  sC.Port = 587;
  sC.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(strID, strPassword);
  sC.EnableSsl = true;
  sC.SendAsync(mM, "Token1");
 }
 catch (Exception exc)
 {
    Log.Error(string.Format("Error sending google email"), exc);
 }
}

Where would you insert this code below to make it all work?

This is global public static method. So answer to your question is: Add it to any class. In NT Help you can find description of writing UserDefined methods in the UserDefined...cs files. You can place this method there.
For example if you add this method to Indicator class then you can use it anywhere in the code like Indicator.SendGoogleEmail(....)
