SMTP Library

[chris9610]

I was wanting to use Sarah's SMTP Library to write an application to send emails with gmail or yahoo mail. But it seems that both services use SSL and special ports.

Does any one have any examples to follow to use the SSL SMTP ports of these services?

there's probably no existing code. But there might be some RFC's on the topic, did you check them?

[chris9610]

No I did not. I really do not understand the proper use of the SSL & encryption library.

So I do not know where to start. I looked at a couple of SMTP libraries but I do not know how to apply the SSL to them.

Request for comments documents (RFC) are like the rules for internet protocols. If you want or need to code a solution yourself, you might be able to make it a revselect product. So I googled for "SMTP SSL RFC" and the third entry (or so) was this:
