When SMTP port 25 is not available or cannot be used
The SMTP Connector enables developers to route email securely and reliably over the public Internet, even when the traditional SMTP port 25 is not available or cannot be used due to security concerns.
This solution has been created for:
- Companies that need to implement trusted email exchange with external organizations and cannot afford to have emails rejected or quarantined
- Businesses that have applications running on hosted servers that they need to connect to in-network mail servers
- Developers who need to email-enable a distributed client app and have those emails sent through their organization’s mail server instead of having the emails routed through their customer’s Internet Service Provider (ISP)
Two programs are provided as part of this sample. Only one of them is required:
- SMTPHandler (required) – Windows server service written in C# that can receive messages from distributed Linxter enabled endpoints. It transforms those messages into email and routes them to a local SMTP server. Zero to many file attachments are supported.
- SMTP Test Client (optional) – Test client written in C# that creates a Linxter message in the format needed in order to be sent out by the SMTPHandler as email. This sample supports a single file attachment.
