anyone with experience with SMTPit

I'm using the demo version of SMTPit to send mail. When I try to pull the email address from a field (ironically, called "email_address), it doesn't actually pull it. It'll say that it's "cleared." If I use a static address it works fine. Any ideas on why that would happen?

The calculation is:

External("SMTP-ClearAll", "") & "

I used SMTPit on a project early last year. The people at SMTPit provided very good support. So it may be worthwhile sending them an email.

Sorry I can't remember much about it to help with specifics.

Good Luck.

Hi,

this isn't a feature of the demo.

We use smtpit a lot and have not found this problem

did it work in the demo files that accompanied smtp-it.

what version of the plugin are you using?

Remember that External is a function that returns a result code. It sounds like you are confusing the result codes with the actual message. Assuming that you have a field called ResultCode, your script step would look like this:

code:

---

Set Field [ResultCode,

External("SMTP-ClearAll", "") & "

Hi Carrie,

I'm sure you have checked this, but if you are executing this script from the web, you must make sure that you have specified a record from which the email-address is to be taken, or, if you are sending one of these to multiple project managers, that you have placed the code in an approriate loop.

I know this is not a demo issue. Also, I concur with Gary that the folks at SMTPit are extraordinarily generous with their support.

good luck

Another vote for SMTPit and POP3it. We've written an email solution around them and they work well.
