Stuart,

I don't think there's a ready to use cocoa framework for SMTP.

You could pipe the message body into an NSTask with a command "mail -s <subject> <recipient>". Except for the permissions on some folders to keep sendmail happy you don't need to configure anything for most mails. You might have problems, though, when you try to send mail from a dialup link whose address range is banned by some mail handlers.

HTH,
Sven

Hello folks,
Being a total new guy on the block with regards to Cocoa, I wondered what is the most reliable way to get my Cocoa App to send an email to a given address? Nothing I could find in the archives seemed relevant.

The first thing I thought of was find out if the users mail app was running (if not launching it) then 'apple-eventing' it into doing what I want (then quitting it if it wasn't running originally).

But this seems a little cumbersome and error prone. Is there a more reliable/simpler way with Cocoa?

Thanks,
Stu.
