Hi,

I encountered with a problem accessing gmail SMTP service. I set up SSL, username, password, etc, but i can't connect with the server!
The log shows that there is some SSL error:
11:12:18 [Connecting to server smtp.gmail.com at port 587 using default domain]
11:12:19 [Initiating SSL Connection]
11:12:19 [Error: SSL Init Failed]
11:12:19 [Error: Connection failure]

GMail POP3 works fine.

Here is the C++ code I use to connect:

smtp.SetAuthMethod(1); // i also tried codes 0, 1, 2, 3
smtp.SetUserName(m_strSMTPName);
smtp.SetPassword(m_strSMTPPassword);
smtp.SetPortNumber(587);
ssl.SetUseStartTLS(TRUE);
smtp.SetRefSsl(ssl);
smtp.Connect(); // return error

What do I do wrong?
Is it possible to connect to gmail via MailBee SMTP?

Best Regards

Andrew

I think this is because you're setting ssl.SetUseStartTLS(TRUE). C++ is a complicated thing where TRUE is not True.
TRUE is 1, while ActiveX's True is VARIANT_TRUE in C++, and it's numeric value is -1.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately VARIANT_TRUE doesn't work too.

Try to upgrade to the latest version of MailBee.dll.

I just checked with MailBee.dll 5.5.0.114 and it works fine for me. Even with TRUE (this is because we added checks which accept both -1 and 1 as TRUE inside the component).

Code:

ISMTP oMailer;

ISSL oSSL;

if (oMailer.CreateDispatch("MailBee.SMTP"))

{

  oMailer.SetLicenseKey("your key here");

  oMailer.SetServerName("smtp.gmail.com");

  oMailer.SetPortNumber(587);

  oMailer.SetLogFilePath("C:\\smtp_log.txt");

  oMailer.SetEnableLogging(-1);

  if (oSSL.CreateDispatch("MailBee.SSL"))

  {

    oSSL.SetLicenseKey("your key here");

    oSSL.SetUseStartTLS(TRUE);

    oMailer.SetRefSsl(oSSL);

  }

  BOOL b1 = oMailer.Connect();

  BOOL b2 = oMailer.Disconnect();

}

Regards,
Alex
