EMail plugin for NSIS

I could write a SMTP Relay plugin for NSIS in Delphi 7...
This way you won't need a SMTP server to send the email.

Anyone interested?

Sounds interessing, but i guess there is a big chance that it might be abused for spam.

But i would be interested in a plugin that en/decrypts a given value. (For secure storing of passwords)

Why hot use the MD5 plugin, or a 3DES dll?

Well, here's my first version.

I will work on the format Name<username@host.com> soon, you can use e-mail addresses only now.

Sounds a great idea 👍

I tested in my XP home and compiled the example. I got this MessageBox Could not send e-mail to author! apollo51@home.nl

Also change the values with my custom and the same. I think the problem might be that the DLL needs some runtime pre-installed, since is from Delphi 7. I check it with my favorite resource hacker.
According the dependecy checker, we need a some of *.bpl to run the DLL:
indy70.bpl
rtl70.bpl
Must be Delphi runtime

I thinks its just a compiler setting, cos I use Delphi 7 and my programs do not depend on any run-time libraries.

Compiled with rtl and indy runtime packages but I think it won't run again

Yes, it is but when I use Delphi's default package setting the dll is 100kb+ and that's too big...

The latest version can be downloaded at: http://www.apollo51.demon.nl/nsis/SMTPRelay.zip

Because it's larger than 100kb 🙁

But it supports sender name now by using the < > characters around the email address.

great job

well done Apollo51, i like it!

There you go! 😉

Try to use the indy components without using forms.
Or use the ICS components : they propose a define to use them without using forms.
Try also to replace any SysUtils functions by your own ones.

i don't understand.it works with some e-mails, but doesn't with some others.that's weird. are there some caracters, that are not supported i.e. " _ " in recipient e-mail?
am i the only one, who has this problem?

I don't know, only tested it with some stupid subjects and bodies

All I know is that not all domains are supported, @hotmail.com works fine, and @home.nl too

heh..just edited my reply... in recipient e-mail

try sending the same mail to a recipient that worked before

works fine...i've done it many times

I really don't know why some recipients can't be reached... maybe some servers block smtp relay clients?

but is there way to make sure, that mail really is delivered to recipient? i mean at the moment nsis will not alert about errors, but mail is not delivered

I don't know (yet) how to track that, because the mail is sent to the domain of the recipient

but is it possible to attach files? it would be useful

Sure, I will try to add that when I have time 😛

The DLL does not use forms, and how much KB would I save by removing the SysUtils functions?

Sorry to bump an old thread but can someone post or upload the 100kb version

thanks

I'd also like to try the 100kb code....

...has anyone got this? or a similar send email plugin??

cheers.

Can anyone how tell me how to get this to work ?

Invalid command: SMTPRelay::Send
Error in script "D:\DesktopNT\smtprelay\MailApollo51.nsi" on line 8 -- aborting creation process

TIA

Make sure SMTPRelay.dll is in your plugins folder!!!

This is e very old thread to answer to: but why not using blat to create a smtp plugin?

Stu... Ok, I'll try...

Sgiusto... whats Blat?

Blat is a program used to send email directly to a SMTP server. Is available as exe, dll or in source code.
It has been removed from public domain because it has often been used to write spam software. I use it to automatically send emails from my programs. It supports multiple recipients, attachments, SMTP authentication and so on. It can also produce Debug information to check if email has been successfully sent.
If of interest I could pack it in a nsis plugin
