[RESOLVED] Use Tls/SSl in vb6

hello!

Well, i have made a simple program to send mail, i made the same program im vb.net and eveything was fine, BUT.... in vb i facing a problem, "Must Issue a STARTTLS command first".

I'm using a custo socket to send my email, so i don't know how to make a procedure to use SSl\TLS.

in Vb.net i have used "System.Net.Mail" and this already have ssl protocol. I just need to set it to true....


So i ask... How to create a procedure or something like to VB6?

you can use ssl with cdo.message in vb6

vb Code:

set mymail = createobject("cdo.message")

many examples in this forum for sending to gmail, (uses ssl)

cdo.messages didn't worked, i have already tryed ...
I donwloaded that link and i'm trying to integrate to my app... But i had a brainstorm... I don't know if this is possible, so help me...

Could i save all procedures from .net (that involves SSL) in a DLL? then make my app read this DLL???

I need to advice you... I'm a begginer in VB6... I can make great programs in .Net, but i never tryed VB6 before, i'm lil' lost...

that should work
i don't use .net, but vb6 dlls are easy to use

i don't know why cdo will not work for you, i have used with success

DAmn it!!! No way, i can't... I'm almost giving up!

I have read every line from that source and i tryed a lot of things an nothing worked... Can u explain what f... is SSL?

i was thinking that i should get my pass, use ssl procedure to encrypt the pass then send the encrypted pass to gmail, isn't?

I just don't know, no more ideas, just hope...

HHEELLPP!!!!


Let me explain better...

My program is like a Backup tool...
Everyday in the end of day it should send to my email a simple mail, and attach a file:(DailySells.txt)
This file contains all sells in the day i have donne... So if someday my HD "BlowsUp" i'll have all backups saveds...

I was thnk another possibiliy, send to an email that dont requires SSL, but i don't know one ...

ssl secure sockets layer
only required for secure email server
WHY does cdo not work?

have you tried sample code from the forum

vb Code:

Set objmessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
      objmessage.Subject = "Example CDO Message"
      objmessage.From = "[email protected]"
      objmessage.To = "me" ' sent to myself, not at gmail
      objmessage.TextBody = "This is some sample message text."
       
       objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
      ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
       
      'Name or IP of Remote SMTP Server
       
       
      'Type of authentication, NONE, Basic (Base64 encoded), NTLM
      objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
      ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
      'Your UserID on the SMTP server
      objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
      ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "usernm"
       
      'Your password on the SMTP server
       
      objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
      ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "pass"
      objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
      ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
      'Server port (typically 25)
      objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
      ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465
      'Use SSL for the connection (False or True)
      objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
      ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1
      'Connection Timeout in seconds (the maximum time CDO will try to establish a connection to the SMTP server)
      objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
      ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 30
      objmessage.Configuration.Fields.Update
      objmessage.Send
      Set objmessage = Nothing

change to and from email addresses and username and password
if you are not using gmail you may need to change port and server
gmail will not accept some types of attachments and will not allow sender spoofing

another free server is GMX


other options, upload to ftp server, using ftp, can have several advantages

I dunno ...

I already have tryed this and did'n worked before, but now is working :), anyway, my program already have an "own" socket, now that i'm using this method means that i can deactivate this socket?
Another doubt is, will my program now have a dependency? an additional file to be installed in other machines? When i started to create my app, i saw in the internet to use that socket, thus i wouldn't need to use an "ocx" that sometimes is missing in some computers.
I don't know exactly what i'm talking about, but i hope you can figure what i'm meanin' ...:thumb:

cdo is installed in xp and vista, win 9x may need it installed

no socket is required to use cdo

what socket are you referring to? winsock control? if so it would need to be distributed with your application

Ok, i just think to use In My Xp and some Win7 Computers, anyway, if someday i need to use in a 9x? Should i install CDO there? (Just Curiosity)

And the socket i'm meanin is a custom socket ...

How do i mark it as solved?
