  1. POSending emails via SMTP from GMail or Yahoo accounts
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to send emails from my AIR app using GMail and Yahoo's SMTP servers. (I have accounts on both of them), and <em>surprise surprise</em>, it just isn't happening.</p> <p><strong>Warning: This might have been rendered obsolete by new developments specified in teh EDIT1 section</strong></p> <p>Here's the log of my communication with the servers:<br> Gmail:</p> <pre><code>220 mx.google.com ESMTP ms9sm13686367pbb.43 EHLO mx.google.com 250-mx.google.com at your service, [59.182.158.33] 250-SIZE 35882577 250-8BITMIME 250-STARTTLS 250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES AUTH LOGIN 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. ms9sm13686367pbb.43 STARTTLS 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS AUTH LOGIN Connection to host lost. </code></pre> <p>Yahoo:</p> <pre><code>220 smtp209.mail.sg3.yahoo.com ESMTP EHLO smtp.yahoo.com 250-smtp209.mail.sg3.yahoo.com 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XYMCOOKIE 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 41697280 250 8BITMIME AUTH LOGIN 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 &lt;base64encoded username&gt; 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 &lt;base64encoded password&gt; 530 Access denied Connection to host lost. </code></pre> <p>On the other hand, my GMX mail account works perfectly without TLS. With TLS, the connection drops for all 3.</p> <p>What is wrong and how can I fix it?</p> <p><strong>P.S.:</strong> I tried this communication with the servers using Windows' inbuilt telnet executable </p> <blockquote> <p>telnet {host} {port}</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>P.P.S:</strong> It doesn't work using sockets in AIR either.</p> <p><strong>EDIT1</strong> Downloaded and installed OpenSSL and Gmail works. Now the question is how do I reproduce this in AIR?</p>
