Hi,

With 7.3.3, we need to send email using SMTP\_Auth (port 587). It seems that the embedded ‘system.net.sendEmail’ is not allowing to specify the port / method for that specific requirement.  
Another solution would be to pop before smtp but there is also no so pop function.  
I’ve searched the forum and didn’t found any solution.  
Can someone help ?

Cheers,

Here are an example of sending mail through smtp with another port than 25:

IN that case, the port was 587 using tls.

I don’t know if replace “tls” to “ssl” work. Maybe Carl or another IA guy can answer this.

Regards,
