SMTP Basic client demo

Posted on by

smtp_client

Here’s a quick and basic SMTP client demo.  Its obviously outgoing only.  VisualWorks has support for all the standard networking protocols i.e. http, ftp, smtp, pop , imap and tons more.

Download the demo and check it out.

The installer will create a Program Group entitled “NYC Smalltalk” wherein one will find a shortcut for the SMTP Demo. An uninstaller is provided as well.  Be forwarned I have not made this fool proof. However, if all the parameters are entered correctly for the signon you will be sending out emails in no time.

BTW, note that the SMTP Demo is divided into 2 componenets one is the Smalltalk Runtime Environment namely the sre.exe , this is a generic runtime environment I setup that is network client capable. That only needs to be distributed once. The application i.e. the demo is actually located in SmptClient.pcl which is a 7 kb file.
