Sending an email with a file attachment

[Matthias Rebbe]

Peter,

you could try to use the smtp server which is responsible for your emailaddress. Your server normally will accept emails for your emailaddress.
I write normally, because there are cases where this will not work. For example if your smtp server uses reverse dns to check the sender.

Another option would be to let your app post that data to a php or livecodeserver script, which then does the sending.

But wouldn´t it be better to let the user send the email manually? You could let your app  put the desired data into the clipboard and let revmail open the email editor. You could then instruct the user
to paste the content of the clipboard into the editor window.

i, for one would love to know when a software is sending data or is phoning home.


Regards,

Matthias
