Hi Rick:
I tried to send emails via my ISP (Bell) with SendMail() and was thrown out with Error: STARTTLS statement missing.
NEED YOUR HELP: would you have a code example on how to send an email using STARTTLS. Most of my small customers use Bell and have no Website. My app has no choice but to transmit emails via Bell. Counting on you for a solution. See the bottom part which outlines the required steps.
STARTTLS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
STARTTLS is an extension to plain text communication protocols, which offers a way to upgrade a plain text connection to an encrypted (TLS or SSL) connection instead of using a separate port for encrypted communication.
STARTTLS for IMAP and POP3 is defined in RFC 2595, for SMTP in RFC 3207, for FTP in RFC 4217, for XMPP in RFC 6120, for LDAP in RFC 2830, and for NNTP in RFC 4642.
Layering[edit]
TLS is application-neutral; in the words of RFC 5246
One advantage of TLS is that it is application protocol independent. Higher-level protocols can layer on top of the TLS protocol transparently. The TLS standard, however, does not specify how protocols add security with TLS; the decisions on how to initiate TLS handshaking and how to interpret the authentication certificates exchanged are left to the judgment of the designers and implementors of protocols that run on top of TLS.[1]
The style used to specify how to use TLS matches the same layer distinction that is also conveniently supported by several library implementations of TLS. E.g., the RFC 3207 SMTP extension illustrates with the following dialog how a client and server can start a secure session:[2]
S: <waits for connection on TCP port 25>
C: <opens connection>
S: 220 mail.example.org ESMTP service ready
C: EHLO client.example.org
S: 250-mail.example.org offers a warm hug of welcome
S: 250 STARTTLS
C: STARTTLS
S: 220 Go ahead
C: <starts TLS negotiation>
C & S: <negotiate a TLS session>
C & S: <check result of negotiation>
C: EHLO client.example.org[3]
. . .
You need to use .NET mode.

thanks,

So your email login was not current? I just ran the sample as it was at first. If it is not, i will test tomorrow as it is not my account. I don't have a Gmail account yet.
thanks,
Don
Ok so I just double checked and it works for me...
As the error message says: Make sure that the username and password are correct. If they don't match you also get this (somewhat misleading) error message (from .NET's mail client).
+++ Rick ---
i used your sample and got the following error:
Mail sending failed: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at
i then changed the account number to the gmail account to the one i was going to use and got the same error.

Hi Rick:

STARTTLS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
STARTTLS is an extension to plain text communication protocols, which offers a way to upgrade a plain text connection to an encrypted (TLS or SSL) connection instead of using a separate port for encrypted communication.
STARTTLS for IMAP and POP3 is defined in RFC 2595, for SMTP in RFC 3207, for FTP in RFC 4217, for XMPP in RFC 6120, for LDAP in RFC 2830, and for NNTP in RFC 4642.
Layering[edit]
TLS is application-neutral; in the words of RFC 5246
One advantage of TLS is that it is application protocol independent. Higher-level protocols can layer on top of the TLS protocol transparently. The TLS standard, however, does not specify how protocols add security with TLS; the decisions on how to initiate TLS handshaking and how to interpret the authentication certificates exchanged are left to the judgment of the designers and implementors of protocols that run on top of TLS.[1]
The style used to specify how to use TLS matches the same layer distinction that is also conveniently supported by several library implementations of TLS. E.g., the RFC 3207 SMTP extension illustrates with the following dialog how a client and server can start a secure session:[2]
S: <waits for connection on TCP port 25>
C: <opens connection>
S: 220 mail.example.org ESMTP service ready
C: EHLO client.example.org

But yes, I would recommend you install the latest version especially if you've been using an older one. There was a short stretch in the 5.5 timeframe when there were issues with certain windows configurations not working that have been fixed in 5.60 and later I think.
WHen you have problems it's best always to try run the latest stuff first, then report what you find.

NEED YOUR HELP: would you have a code example on how to send an email using STARTTLS. Most of my small customers use Bell and have no Website. My app has no choice but to transmit emails via Bell. Counting on you for a solution. See the bottom part which outlines the required steps.
STARTTLS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
STARTTLS is an extension to plain text communication protocols, which offers a way to upgrade a plain text connection to an encrypted (TLS or SSL) connection instead of using a separate port for encrypted communication.
STARTTLS for IMAP and POP3 is defined in RFC 2595, for SMTP in RFC 3207, for FTP in RFC 4217, for XMPP in RFC 6120, for LDAP in RFC 2830, and for NNTP in RFC 4642.
Layering[edit]
TLS is application-neutral; in the words of RFC 5246
One advantage of TLS is that it is application protocol independent. Higher-level protocols can layer on top of the TLS protocol transparently. The TLS standard, however, does not specify how protocols add security with TLS; the decisions on how to initiate TLS handshaking and how to interpret the authentication certificates exchanged are left to the judgment of the designers and implementors of protocols that run on top of TLS.[1]
The style used to specify how to use TLS matches the same layer distinction that is also conveniently supported by several library implementations of TLS. E.g., the RFC 3207 SMTP extension illustrates with the following dialog how a client and server can start a secure session:[2]
S: <waits for connection on TCP port 25>
C: <opens connection>
S: 220 mail.example.org ESMTP service ready
C: EHLO client.example.org
S: 250-mail.example.org offers a warm hug of welcome
S: 250 STARTTLS
C: STARTTLS
S: 220 Go ahead
C: <starts TLS negotiation>
C & S: <negotiate a TLS session>
C & S: <check result of negotiation>
C: EHLO client.example.org[3]
