POSMTP.host variable issue
text
Body
copied!<p>Here is my Issue. I'm using Delphi 5 and Indy 9. I have no option to upgrade either at the moment. I am trying to send an email via gmail, and i hard code the string as 'smtp.google.com' it works just fine. however, if smtp.host is getting the host name from a variable it fails with error 11001, and i havent been able to figure out why. I'm new using indy so i'm probably missing something silly, but i don't understand why it could accept a string as the host, but not a variable holding the string. (It's got to be a variable because i need to pass the procedure different SMTP hosts based on the user signed in. Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>procedure TFormEmail.SendSimpleMail(ToEmail, MyAttachment: string); var Msg: TIdMessage; DestAddr: TIdEmailAddressItem; SMTP: TIdSMTP; SSLHandler : TidSSLIOHandlerSocket; Attachment: TIdAttachment; SMTPHost1 :string; begin Msg := idMessage1; Msg.From.Text := EmailName(My_User); Msg.From.Address := EmailAddress(My_User); msg.Subject := 'Test';//email subject DestAddr := Msg.Recipients.Add; DestAddr.Text := '';//receiver's name (optional) DestAddr.Address := ToEmail;//where its going Msg.Body.Add(edtEmailBody.text); //email body SMTP := IdSMTP1; SMTP.IOHandler := idSSLIOHandlerSocket1; SMTPhost1 := SMTPHost(My_User); SMTPhost1 := 'smtp.google.com'; //SMTP.Host := SMTPhost1; //<--FAILS SMTP.Host := 'smtp.google.com'; //<--SUCCEEDS SMTP.Port := SMTPPort(My_User); SMTP.AuthenticationType := atLogin; //error here (2 error) SMTP.Username := EmailAddress(My_User); SMTP.Password := SMTPPassword(My_User); If not empty(MyAttachment) then Attachment := TIdAttachment.Create(Msg.MessageParts, MyAttachment);//loads Att Try SMTP.Connect; except SMTP.Connect;//refire if exception (issue with INDY) end; if useSSL(My_User) then SMTP.SendCmd('STARTTLS');//load TLS SMTP.Authenticate; SMTP.Send(Msg); SMTP.Disconnect;//disconnect from server end; </code></pre> <p>I marked the one that fails and the one that succeeds, but i don't understand what i'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated</p>
