Hi.

Not sure I understand your issue. Can you provide an example of the settings you want to use in smtpclient?

As for pbnismtp, is your executable x32 or x64?

Andreas.

This is my code:

integer li_rc
SMTPClient lnv_SmtpClient
lnv_SmtpClient = CREATE SMTPClient

lnv_SmtpClient.Host = "my.mailserver.com"
lnv_SmtpClient.Port = 465
lnv_SmtpClient.Username = "MyUser@mailserver.com"
lnv_SmtpClient.password = "mypassword"
lnv_SmtpClient.SetProxy("",0)
lnv_SmtpClient.EnableTLS = True;  //False or True returns the same result
lnv_SmtpClient.SecureProtocol = 1  //Regardless of the value the result is the same
lnv_SmtpClient.Timeout = 30

lnv_SmtpClient.Message.SetSender("myuser@mailserver.com", "user name");
lnv_SmtpClient.Message.AddRecipient("myfriend@gmail.com", "friend name");

lnv_SmtpClient.Message.Subject = "Subject of my email"
lnv_SmtpClient.Message.HTMLBody = "Body of my email"
lnv_SmtpClient.Message.Priority = 0 //Normal
lnv_SmtpClient.Message.AddAttachment("c:\temp\myattachment.pdf")
lnv_SmtpClient.Message.Encoding = "UTF-8"

// send the email
li_rc = lnv_SmtpClient.Send()

****  Result is that li_rc is -11

As for the pbnismpt question, I compile to x32 but I believe it's the same error with x64.

Do you see anything in the settings that would cause the -11 error?  PBNISMTP used to work fine with the previous build of PowerBuilder.  It actually still works but only when I run the application from the IDE.  I would rather use the SMTP class from PowerBuilder.

Thank you in advance,

Ed

Hi, Ed -

The -11 is a timeout error. Have you tried using the LogFile feature of the SMTPClient object to see if it gives you some additional information?

// Enable the logging feature.
lnv_SmtpClient.LogFile("c:\mail.log")

I found this in the PB 2022 R3 Application Techniques publication, "Using SMTP", in example 2:

    https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022r3/application_techniques/Using_SMTP.html

Curiously, the LogFile property is not listed in the PB Help topic for SMTPClient.

* * * Edit * * *
LogFile is a function of the SMTPClient object, not a property. It is documented in PB Help.

Best regards, John

Hello John,

Thank you for your reply.  I added the log feature but it offers a small amount of help.  It does confirm the fact that the connection is made, but it still times out.  Here is the log:

Trying 66.39.3.114:465...

Hi.

Two points I would try, if you haven't already. Remove the attachment... Try to send an email as simple as possible. While you are mentioning that SecureProtocol value doesn't matter (you probably checked all values), I would set it to 0 for my tests... Also I would try to set a timeout of 0...

Andreas.
