Hello,
I'm attempting to build an app to test if SMTP details are working. I'm troubleshooting a client problem where sending to smtp.office365.com is either taking more than 20 seconds or failing with some message. My plan here is a build a small app that can send 1 msg per minute and log success/failure. This will help cut the problem in half, ie is this a computer, av, network, firewall or Microsoft screwing about (again). The app could be run at another location to again help diagnose the situation.
I did originally started in Powershell and then I thought - why not try in B4X ?!?!
Questions
How to set a timeout for the connection?
- For example if host does not exist or using a different port
- 3 seconds should be enough
How can I log the "raw" responses from the SMTP server?
- For example to see the rejection that the username/password was incorrect
- 220 LO2P123CA0075.outlook.office365.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Wed, 19 Jan 2022 16:38:43 +0000
How to set the TLS/Cipher version used?
Many thanks for any help
