In Topic: Email without Outlook?

20 September 2006 - 11:27 AM

Being a longtime developer on Windows and having had a similar problem, let me offer the following.

1) The problem was "solved" the same way by unchecking the "Warn me when other applications..." checkbox. Worked for a small business with one workstation.

2) If you ever decided to tackle the SMTP issue, I would advise finding a way to get MOM to spit out the email as a text file, or some kind of file. Then I believe it would be ultra easy to use VB or VBScript to send the email (using CDONTS or whatever the modern interfaces are, say if you used VB.net or C#). Personally, I would find this _way_ easier than trying to implement the SMTP spec, or even using C++ to send email. C++ just doesn't play as easily with scriptable objects as the other languages do.

And I say that as a C++ developer. I just don't get into religious debates over it. I can't deny that i can write the few lines of code to create a Mail CDONTS object over importing the COM object into a C++ app.

I'm NOT a MOM expert. Although I'm here because I am helping out this small business and need to become one.

Just a thought.
