Email Account fir SMTP

Started by Fidly September 3, 2010
Hi Guys,

I've been trying to use the SMTP feature

I tried to compile SMTP.c with my Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo or AOL, but none
worked

Can someone suggest me something ?
Is there any compatible free email accounts that can be used with
Rabbit's SMTP ?

Regards,
Fidly

Most free email accounts are webmail and do not support SMTP. Yahoo does, if you sign up for the paid Yahoo Mail Plus service.

You get what you pay for.

If you can afford $9 or $10 a year, you can just purchase your own domain name from someone like www.DomainOfficials.com. They include a free email account with their domains that has both webmail and SMTP access. There may be other registrars that do this, as well, but I know for sure DomainOfficials does.

gmail, yahoo must work. Don´t know about aol, and i´m sure hotmail does not work.Are you sure you defined the USE_SMTP_AUTH macro in order to use the authentication?You also need to inform the user and password, since all these servers are ESMTP and not only SMTP servers. They require user authentication.

The most recent releases (10.60 and later?) of Dynamic C even include samples for using client-side-SSL (TLS) to send to SMTP servers that support it (like gmail).

Hi Tom / Alexandre / evilwulfie / ebrains,

I'm using DC10.64.
The board I'm using can't compile SMTP_TLS.c because of insufficient
internal RAM (128kB)
I tried to compile SMTP.c by supplying the username, password and the
SMTP server name (even trying to set diff port no. didn't work)
I'm trying to find a free email acc where I can use to test the SMTP
function (I dont have any private domain email acc)
That's why I tried with Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo/AOL.

macro USE_SMTP_AUTH is enabled always
macro SMTP_AUTH_FAIL_IF_NO_AUTH is enabled (not enabling also didn't work)

By the way, i'm still looking for solution : )

Regards,
Fidly

Based on your screenshot, it's a DNS problem. Do you have your network settings configured correctly? Does AOL's mail server use smtp.aol.com for outbound email?

Why not use your @yahoo.com account for testing? I'm pretty sure they allow for SMTP sending.

Hi Fidly
I really never used AOL, but from the log you sent, i see it cant even be resolved.I tried to ping smtp.aol.com from here and had no answer.Then tried to ping smtp.yahoo.com and had the pings back normally. I would test with an yahoo or gmail account and forget about aol.

I think it's the DNS problem as well
