I tried to implement myself a little smtp client. It was for me a good way to start with wxWidgets and also to study a little bit the SMTP protocol.
I used stmp.gmail.com as server for my test. I can communicate with it but when i tried to send a message (so when i send a MAIL FROM... message), it replied that i
.Must issue a STARTTLS command first
But when i sent a STARTTLS message, it replied that the command is not recognized!!
Does someone know about the smtp protocol and can tell me what i have to do with this STARTTLS please? i found some stuff about that on the Internet but except description of what it is supposed to do... nothing.
A concrete example of communication between client and server could be fine.
On the other hand, it's fine to explore, but i also have to continue on a other project. So i could probably use wxSMTP for this part.
But... all the links that i found are about wxSMTP 1.1 or 1.2 and the creator indicates that he does not maintain this anymore...
Is somebody else doing it?
Does wxSMTP manage with STARTTLS?
Is there any concrete documentation (didn't find it)?
How to compile the library under VS2005? ( sorry... but i really didn't succeed...)
ThankS
