Sending email via a specified server

Post by andyh1234 » Thu Apr 02, 2015 1:53 pm

Hi,

Is there any way with Livecode to send email via a different SMTP server to the one on the server hosting the script itself.

Ive been running into a brick wall trying to send email from diesel.on-rev.com to any Microsoft email account, hotmail, outlook etc. Ive contacted On-Rev support a few times now, but its still happening, and the On-Rev dedicated forum looks like its been abandoned with php errors on the top.

If there is a way to specify a different smtp server with login info etc this would be a way round the problem I have at the moment if the blocklist on the On-Rev server cannot be removed.

Sarah Reichelt's smtp library should be able to help, assuming the right permissions and credentials for use on external servers. See http://troz.net/2015/03/livecode-stacks/ and see the link to the stacks on her new github repository in the middle of the post.
