Am I missing something? I have the need to be able to send a simple email from my application and NSMailDelivery's +deliverMessage:subject:to: looked perfect but I can't get it to work. I assume this is because I have not configured an SMTP server but I don't see any way under Panther to do so. I vaguely recall there being System Preferences control panel for this in earlier versions of OS X but don't have an old version that I can check. Does NSMailDelivery still work under Panther? And if not, is there a simple way of sending an email without having to go through a mail client using NSWorkspace?


You can use NSMailDelivery without using a mail CLIENT, but you do need a mail server... probably the same one that your mail client is using. If this is an application that will be used by different people at different locations, you will probably need to have them set a preference telling the location of their mail server. You can also pull the address from their internet preferences, assuming the user has set them up.

Andrew Stone has a great article about sending e-mail on his website. Here's the direct link:

which should help you out with what you're trying to do.
