Re: Mass E-Mail Help Needed

Greetings All,

Delphi 5.1

Please forgive me but this is my first attempt at this and not sure how I
need to do this.

I need to send out payment notices to our clients via email based on
information stored in a database. Is there any Delphi components or
source
that allows me to do this and AVOID an email client from displaying "A
program is attempting to send the following e-mail message on your
behalf". As you can see I already tried to do this using MAPAMail.

Do I need to use some kind of email server instead of trying to use an
email
client?

Any guidance appreciated.

Outlook Express has a nasty habit of not showing you your own messages if
you refresh too quickly after sending - no need to resend multiple times!
If you reset this group, all four will probably show up for you.

Anyway... You could send the mail directly to the SMTP server. This is the
same server your default email client is already configured to use, so
there's no need to set up another server. You'll just need to have the
settings (host, port, whatever auth may be required) configured and
available to your program. I'm sure there's all kinds of examples for Indy
and other components, all easily accessible now that you know what search
term to use: SMTP client.
