  • 1.  SMTP Mail without using OBMAPI

    Posted Nov 04, 2015 03:05 PM

    Has anyone managed to write an C++ API to use SMTP mail (not MAPI) in a C++ function with plex?

     

    the examples i can find - refer to managed C++ and I have managed to get the .NET c# working fine - but I need to implement similar code to an existing WinC function

     

    the Microsoft example  - i cannot get to work - Any ideas ?

    Hi Wayne,

    Hope you are doing good.

     

    We are using for Exchange integration 3rd party library CHILLKAT. It has an easy interface and works robust.

    looks good - Unfortunatly using a 3rd party library will be be a challenge due to the approval process that I will have to go thru to even have it considered  for use  - and the process server will not have an exchange account to link to - will keep looking for a simple solution -

    Wayne -

     

    You could reuse your existing C# code. Write a wrapper around your existing functionality in C# and make it COM visible. Then import the TypeLib into Plex via COM Import.
