SMTP client functions (no authorization)

Community Forums/Showcase/SMTP client functions (no authorization)

(Posted 2007) [#1]

I've created some SMTP client functions. It works fine, but it doesn't support authorization at the moment and i don't have any SMTP servers either where i could authorize myself, so could anybody help me on that part.

Usage example:

SMTPStream% = SMTPConnect("smtp.some-server.com", "username", "password")
SMTPSendHeader(SMTPStream%, "mail@...", "rcpt@...", "Mail subject")
WriteLine SMTPStream%, "This is the message"
SMTPEndMail(SMTPStream%)

Functions:

Global SMTPError$ = ""

Function SMTPConnect%(server$, username$ = "", password$ = "", port% = 25)
	Local stream% = OpenTCPStream(server$, port%)
	Local AUTH_type% = 0 ; 1 - LOGIN, 2 - PLAIN, 3 - DIGEST-MD5, 4 - CRAM-MD5
	
	If stream%
		While Not Eof(stream%)
			If Not msg$ = ""
				DebugLog "SMTP>>>" + msg$
				WriteLine stream%, msg$
			EndIf
			
			If ReadAvail(stream%)
				txt$ = ReadLine$(stream%): DebugLog "SMTP<<<" + txt$
				code$ = Left$(txt$, 3)
				cmd$ = Mid(txt$, 5)
				value$ = Sector(cmd$, " ", 1, True)
				cmd$ = Sector(cmd$, " ", 0)
			Else
				txt$ = "": code$ = "": cmd$ = "": value$ = ""
			EndIf
			
			msg$ = ""
			Select code$
				Case "220"
					msg$ = "EHLO " + server$
				Case "250"
					; COMMAND
					Select cmd$
						Case "AUTH"
							; SET AUTH type
							If Instr(value$, "PLAIN") Then AUTH_type% = 2
							If Instr(value$, "DIGEST-MD5") Then AUTH_type% = 3
							If Instr(value$, "CRAM-MD5") Then AUTH_type% = 4
							If Instr(value$, "LOGIN") Then AUTH_type% = 1
							
							Select AUTH_type%
								Case 1
									msg$ = "AUTH LOGIN"
								Case 2
									msg$ = "AUTH PLAIN " + base64_enc$(username$ + Chr(0) + username$ + Chr(0) + password$)
								Case 3
									msg$ = "AUTH DIGEST-MD5"
								Case 4
									msg$ = "AUTH CRAM-MD5"
							End Select
						Case "8BITMIME" ; No AUTH type
							If AUTH_type% = 0 Then Return stream%
					End Select
				Case "334" ; AUTH type ok
					Select AUTH_type%
						Case 1 ; LOGIN
							Select cmd$
								Case "VXNlcm5hbWU6" ; Username
									msg$ = base64_enc$(username$)
								Case "UGFzc3dvcmQ6" ; Password
									msg$ = base64_enc$(password$)
							End Select
						Case 3 ; DIGEST-MD5
						Case 4 ; CRAM-MD5
					End Select
				Case "535", "501" ; Authorization failed
					SMTPError$ = Mid(txt$, 5)
					
					CloseTCPStream stream%
					Return False
				Case "235" ; Authorized
					If AUTH_type% = 0 Then Return stream%
			End Select
		Wend
		
		Return stream%
	EndIf

Function 'sector' not found

Sorry for that, added it.

Sounds cool, but I cant get it to connect to hotmail/yahoo

Andres

Probably because it needs authorization, enable debugging. I'll try tu use it with my own account on hotmail.

dont you guys have an ISP that provides e-mail ? if you do then smtp.yourISP.com

Most ISP's dont request any authentication for sending mail, they check your IP and Mac off of their list and then allow you to send/connect so it shouldnt be needed. Unless your trying to use a server thats not your ISP like yahoo or some other random server.

PS. this code could come in handy for making one of those E-Mail games where moves are made and sent via mail.

@Andres - Judging by some of your code, it would appear that you've already found this (the authentication has been tested and works)??

@Xzider - Hotmail/Yahoo aren't SMTP servers, AFAIR they use the webDAV HTTP extension.

@Yavin, yes, like i said it works well, but i'd like the code to work with authorization too.

@Yan, Nope didin't found that. I read examples and reference from "googling".
I just added the authorization as I think it would work, but i haven't tested it. I've only got as far as it says "Authorization failed", but no "Authorization successfull" message yet. It seems that i don't need to create my own functions anymore, i'll just use your code :). Does your code support "Progressbar"? :P
