I'm trying to get WebSpeed to send an email. The problem is its got to work on Windows (UNIX is easy) with an Exchange mail server with no SMTP service (again, SMTP would have been relatively easy).
By changing the AdminService so it logs in as a domain user and not LocalSystem and using MAPI I can get an email. However, because its Exchange Outlook has to be open at the time, so a user has to be logged in and Outlook pops a dialog box up to the desktop forcing the user to confirm that an email can be sent. This dialog box is invisible, but thats a different issue - I've still got to click OK on it (took a while to realise that).
Obviously, this isn't going to work for a production web application. We can't have a user logged in to the web server with Outlook running just in case a web user needs an email sending. BTW, I can get around the dialog by putting a third party Outlook hack on - but we can't force our end users to do that either.
Anybody got any idea? I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried using smtpmail.p (from FreeFramework.org) but there isn't an SMTP server...
