sending e-mail smtp protocol with autentication

[jgarciallamas]

Hello,

I'd like to send an e-mail through my mail provider but the problem is that I need previous autentication in the server so my question is:

Is there anyway to do this in Labview? With Internet toolkit or with other tool, I don´t know.

Any comment will be wellcome, please.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Jose.

Hi jose,
yes there is a way you can do this with labview.There is a tool that I used when I hard The same problem.
It is called openG internet toolkit you can get this free from the openG webside www.openg.org.
Good luck.

The protocol for password authentication for SMTP transactions is described in RFC 2554. This is not currently implemented in the OpenG Internet Connectivity Tools, but if you let Kevin Valentine (the author of the OGIC tools) know that you are interested in supporting this, he might be interested in working with you to add that functionality.

ohiofudu,

To the best of my knowledge, these modifications haven't made it into the OGIC library. Is this the case, and would you mind sharing them with us?

Regards,

-Jim

I posted a library to replace the relevant functions of the LabVIEW SMTP
library some time ago here on Developer Exchange.

Hi Jim,

ohiofudu is referring to the plain text authentication that the ogic-smtp
library uses. There is no encryption (possibly what the OP wants), just
base64 encoding 😞 As Rolf says, it's not very secure.

Right, my library doesn't support encryption either. It isn't really a
big deal to support MD5 or CRAM-MD5, you just need the MD5 algorithme.
Problem is I haven't come up with a VI I could distribute for free to do
this as I'm using the Crypto-G library from
http://www.visecurity.com/cryptg.shtml to do that.

I think this Toolkit is such a good deal for its price that I haven't
got myself to really spend the time to write my own algorithme I could
distribute for free.

Hi,

Thanks to all for your support.

Kind regards.

Rolf and Kevin,

I have been in contact with Enrique Vargas. He said that he has no issues releasing his "Crypto-G" md5 implementation under the LGPL as part of the OpenG Toolkit. I'll work with him on this and get an md5 package released soon. Let me know if you are interested in contributing anything to (or have any input related to) this first release.

Jim, you beat me to it! I was about to fire off an email to Enrique
yesterday to request the same thing. I got side tracked with work and
left it in my draft box. That's great he's onboard with LGPL 🙂
