blitz to send e-mail?
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/blitz to send e-mail?

| I'm working on my testing stage of my game, and there'll be a lot of bugs to be reported. So, rather than having them go through the trouble of opening their e-mail, could I have blitz send an e-mail to me (which is quicker so they'll be more likely and willing to do it)? any help is appreciated :D |

| Look for blitzmail in the code arcs. |
| ||
| how could i use that to send a mail? It's not very explanatory. |
| ||
| Are we talking about the same code? I'm talking about this. It's documented well enough to use, without having to know how it works - just fill in the info it says. I've never actually used it before but just tried it by sending myself an email and it worked fine. |

| Well, that is probably useless nowadays, since you have to login on the smtp server to send emails (if not, your email server is *very* unsecure and a gateway for spammers). But I bet that somewhere on planet-source-code there's some VB code that does login on SMTP, so it's just a matter of adapting that code on the archives to login before actually sending the message. if my memory is ok, I think you just have to send a string: "USER: " + username, wait the response and then "PASS: " + password, and check if it went ok. Then, you send the rest of the email. |

| could i send the emails to myself to save people the time of enterring their own email address? If so, how? (sample code using blitzmail would be largely appreciated) |
