hey. i'm searching for some days why CDO can't connect to live.com i have it work with other servers like gmail.com anyone here has success with this ? thanks in advanced for any input.
yes with CDO but you need to be a magic man, becuase the setting are not published actually there is a new undocument setting involved.
Would you care to share your findings? How was it different from the Knowledge Base article we provided? http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a617/how-to-send-mail-using-cdo.aspx
your example (as many like this on the net) is correct the thing is, that there is a setting that MS changed. in the Past I programmed a complete SSL class from code i found on PSC and it was used to work. with smtp.live.com until MS changed something. and today i found the change. I now need to test my original class, with the new knoldege i discovered. I'm quite sure they made the change and didn't published it in the MSDN library, because of security reasons. so i still need to wait with what i discovered. anyway, I intend to publish a small CDO component in OCX format, and maybe in standard dll format. when it will be done, i'll let you know.
