Hello,
I tried to compile example program but it returned some kind of
liblxxx.xx
unrecognized format error. And these are the error I get when trying to
send
mail :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

smtp.softhome.net error : SMTP error 53 envelope recipient adress
invalid
(#5.7.1)
smtp.softhome.net error : SMTP error 54 RCPT first (#5.5.1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same error when trying with "mail.oceanfree.net" etc ...
If I have to receive mail from account first to actually identify myself
to
the system,
I must say that I already tried that ... ( receiving before sending )
On Windows when I try to send mail without recieving it just pops up
pasword

window and message is sent ... In Balsa there is login-password field
for
SMTP.
So I think that is not the problem, or at least it should not be the
problem
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope it can help you to resolve what could be wrong ...

Thank you for your time,

Greetings from Anel ...
