Re: sending email using winsock or internet transfer control

[Richard T. Edwards]

Okay, user name and password needs to be encoded:

'Tell the server this is an extended protocol connection
Winsock1.SendData "EHLO mail.someserver.com" & vbCrLf

'Tell the server you want to log in
Winsock1.SendData "AUTH LOGIN" & vbCrLf

'Send Username -- in encoded byte format
Winsock1.SendData "ccVkd2FyQHB3cHNxdWFyZWQuY29t" & vbCrLf

'Send password -- in encoded byte format
Winsock1.SendData "bBVkZHlnaXJsaWU=" & vbCrLf

'Tell the server to get ready to accept mail
Winsock1.SendData "MAIL FROM: <y...@Midastouch.com>" & vbCrLf

Dear Sir,

I have read your answer in
"http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.vb.controls.internet&tid=19db4759-4e1d-4ec0-82dc-8e1dcecb147c&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=&p=1".

But it is not clear to me 'How to send user id & password to server'. Please
send me what is the process of encoded byte format. i.e. my id is
kowsh...@yahoo.com, how could I encode the id & password in encoded byte
format?

I am waiting for you reply.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Sincerely yours,

Kowshik Shaw
