Sending Email from FPC (non-Lazarus)

[BigChimp]

Also, if you have those requirements, why not simply set up a mail server like postfix, sendmail, even Exchange that is after all designed to send mail, deal with spam/filtering/authentication/encryption and relay it via that host?

I'm very baffled...

[taazz]

because it can not be packed in a simple installation for windows and you still have to deal with the dynamic IP problem as you call it.

And to hook a port < 1024 you need special rights (admin/root) anyway.

[BigChimp]

Yes, yes, yes... and all that doesn't answer my first question

And to hook a port < 1024 you need special rights (admin/root) anyway.

And why is that relevent to this discussion?

[bigeno]

I reread the whole thread and don't now, it is to be local mail server or some kind of spam bot or real mail server

1) SMTP is port 25. 
2) the application must be installed with additional permissions if you go that way, something that is now applied much more strictly than a few years ago

@bigeno: yep, that is my suspicion as well

@marcov: yes, irrelevant:
you're describing side effects/requirements of my scenario 2 in
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,24814.msg149788.html#msg149788
... which is irrelevant as I was asking WHY OP wanted to have scenario 2 rather than scenario 1.
What benefits with regard to SENDING mail would the OP have in scenarion 2 versus scenario 1?

Aside:
If you don't follow scenario 2 but say install your own mail server you would need root permissions anyway to listen on port 25 as you rightly indicate...

@marcov: yes, irrelevant:

Irrelevant if it was a reply to your post, which it wasn't.

I tried to only take input from the OP, not your assumptions about what he wants. At least not till he confirms them..

I'm trying to get some information in the thread so that the next OP feedback will narrow it down to what he wants. Not to pin him on something you think it is his purpose based on minimal info.

What benefits with regard to SENDING mail would the OP have in scenarion 2 versus scenario 1?

(I can actually imagine scenarios where the receiving mailserver checks if the sender is a mailserver)

Why can't he simply use Indy? There are IMHO too much open questions to narrow all answers down so much already.

Or at least setuid. But that also complicates delivery. The integrated mailserver is still one binary delivery.

So you post "And..." below taazz' answer to me but that's a general remark, not a reply to taazz or me?

Perhaps this is a language issue or something - I obviously completely failed to understand your meaning. I'll try to limit my assumptions.
