[drats_users] more on d-rats email

[Rolan O. Clark]

Dan,

Your are correct.

file>preferences>outgoing email    ,  when smtp.comcast.net  is removed 
then it doesn't send.

I tried this again, with smtp.comcast.net back in and saved,  It won't send 
with file>preferences>Email Access set to  outgoing, it has to be set to 
incoming. Do you understand why that is  happening?

To me,  if the code compiles and runs without error, obviously it does, then 
one has to assume it is doing what the program tells it to do.

Maybe the frame of  reference of incoming and outgoing is  what I  am not 
understanding.  Not a problem,  I can set to  both but  curious.

Thanks much for your time,

I know  there are several of these instances/scenarios I don't understand 
because I don’t understand the flow path of  emails and how the code is 
written.

Take care,

Rolan

>From your screenshots, it looks like you have an SMTP server properly
configured, albeit disabled. I'd have to go look at the code, but I
believe the "enabled" flag only controls whether messages received from
other stations can be gatewayed through to that server or not. Since
you're local and addressed the mail directly, I think it would still
attempt to send it. If you remove the server name from that box and then
try again, it shouldn't work, if you're doing what you say you're doing.
