Hello,

I am using wwipstuff (don't know what version) to send email from VFP application.

  1. How do I find out what is my version of wwipstuff?

  2. When I try to send the message to gmail server, using port 587, I get error message: "Must issue a STARTTLS command first" How do I issue this command from VFP 9 application?

I looked at the help of West Wind Client Tools (which I also have but don't use), which has property .lUseSsl. But the class wwIpStuff I use does not have this property.

TIA

If you're using wwIpstuff your version is too old 😃

You need wwSmtp (same interface different name) and the .NET pieces of it to send TLS secure messages to communicate with Gmail.

My problem with using wwSmtp is the .NET pieces. Is it correct that .NET framework has to be installed on the computer using wwSmtp? If yes, this will require that many of my customers install .NET framework on their PCs. I need to find a way to update customers without "forcing" .NET on them.

Let me ask you a question, please. If I use the old version of wwipstuff (and I know that in time I need to use wwSmpt), can I have multiple emails in the .cRecipient property? For example "name1@company.com; name2@company.com"?

TIA

From Help:

cRecipient: One ore more recipients. Multiple recipients should be comma or semi-colon delimited.

wwSMTP::cRecipient

Thank you, Tore. I just don't understand why it does not work for me as indicated in the help.

Maybe it's because you're using a 15 year old version of of wwIpStuff?
