Need Help Sending Email In Turing

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri May 19, 2006 4:23 pm

Let's say I make a program that copies what you write into a .txt file. How can I made it so it sends that .txt file to an email. Like does it have to do with establishing a connection using Net.OpenURLConnection or something? Please help would be greatly appreciated.

I dont know turing, so cant help you with the syntax and functions to establish a network connection, but studying SMTP may help you with the rest. Either use a packet sniffer, or find some RFCs.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt This document is older then I am, but it goes in dept on the workings of SMTP, probably more then you need though...

This looks more friendly:

Oh webmail, that's different, and could get more complicated. I would just use pop3/smtp gmail has it so just connect to that server instead.

You try connecting to gmail, or google anything. It closes!

Are you fetching the response from the server, and pausing? or is it just connecting then exiting? If there's a pause but it's still exiting, sounds like you got some kind of memory issue. (buffer overflow or something). Not sure how it works in turing but I would assume it would be the same as C++. thing with network coding is you never know what type of response the server will send so you need a way to handle any amount of data.
