That is not quite correct.

Secure SMTP comes in two flavours, SSL and TLS.

If you are using SMTP over SSL, then you just need a URL starting with 
"smtps://" and you do not need the "use_ssl" setting.
If you are using SMTP over TLS, then you need a URL that looks like 
"smtp://mail.mydomain.com:587" and you must use the "use_ssl" setting to 
invoke TLS.

I have taken the liberty to update Neil's LCMail stack with a few radio 
buttons, so that it generates the URL and adds the "use_ssl" setting 
only when appropriate.  You can download it here:

As an aside, a similar concept applies when using FTPS in implicit or 
explicit mode:

If you are using FTPS in implicit mode, then you just need a URL 
starting with "ftps://" and you do not need the "use_ssl" setting.
If you are using FTPS in explicit mode, then you need a URL that starts 
with "ftp://" and you must use the "use_ssl" setting to invoke TLS.

Regards,

Charles

The error message I get back is (56) Failure when receiving data from peer/returned from server.  I’m just slogging through the tsNet Sample Sync Stack to speed things up since sending the email should be trivial compared to the data enclosed in the actual message. But, sometimes that’s how it goes:) Other than the Dictionary and this sample stack does anyone have a pointer to a simple example using this external with a hosted mail service?
