What's New:
05/21/2008 Updated About OstroSoft page. Still working on TLS/SSL support in SMTP/POP3 Components
11/04/2007 POP3 Component 2.4.2 (OSPOP3.dll) is available for download. Component allows to retrieve email messages from POP3 mailserver, check mailbox status, parse retrieved messages from Visual Basic 6 and other programming and scripting languages, supporting COM. New version fixes case conversion in attachment headers and "disappearing" HTML part in non-fully POP3-compliant messages.
07/29/2007 SMTP Component 6.4.5 (OSSMTP.dll) is available for download. Component allows to send emails from Visual Basic 6 and other COM-compliant programming and scripting languages. Supports multiple recipients, email (MIME) attachments, AUTH and POP3 authentication, HTML email, custom headers. Latest release fixes character shift in Base64-encoded emails, adds built-in support for quoted-printable messages. If your message, subject or any email address field contains non-ASCII characters - don't forget to set a valid charset and content transfer encoding! (by default, SMTP sets charset to "us-ascii" and content transfer encoding to "7bit"). For most Western Europian languages you should use the following settings:
.ContentTransferEncoding = "quoted-printable"
.Charset = "iso-8859-1"
For Asian and Cyrillic languages use base64 encoding:
.ContentTransferEncoding = "base64"
For more information about charsets refer to official IANA document and Wikipedia article
11/15/2006 Warning. There is a new wave of emails on Internet, supposedly sent from OstroSoft. Remember - email headers are very easy to forge. Use common sense and spam filters. Configure your mailservers not to bounce invalid messages - it helps against spammers.
OstroSoft never sends emails with attachments. If you receive one - it's fake. Even worse - it's almost guaranteed to contain a virus. OstroSoft website is the only reliable place to obtain OstroSoft software.
