help with e-mail sending code

[locus]

Picked up this peice of code from the thread at the following link :


qt3 smtp network example adapted for qt4


Thing is i cant get it to work. The small and simple project is attached, it is qt console, the network module has been included in the project.

can anyone give me a hand?

My initial output is:

stateChanged 1
stateChanged 2

:then it just sits there for a very long time. When i close the console window i get the following before it closes:

QWaitCondition: Destroyed while threads are still waiting
Press any key to continue

I am using MSVS .NET 2003, QT 4.2.0, WINDOWS.

Thanks in advance.

have you a mail server on you window localhost?

socket->connectToHost( "localhost", 25);

socket->connectToHost( "localhost", 25);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You must connect on remote host...

from smtp provider

or you own smtp server
this run on smtp autefitification .... postfix or qmail ...

Thanks a lot for your response.

I do not have a mail server. Was trying to get postfix but from what i understand postfix does not run on Windows.

Is there something else i could use to run the code with?

I am a novice to software.

So feel fre to educate me a little bit here. Lets say that i don't mind using the Unix OS to run my little e-mail test. I have windows on my pc and that is what i am using now:

Questions:

If i install Unix, or some Unix type OS, say Linux, how does this affect my current OS; windows?

Will i be able to switch between operating systems as i whenever i please without trouble, given that both are on the same machine?

I am trying to build a crossplatform application that can send e-mail. So far i have just been using Mvs .NET 2003 with Qt 4.2.0 on windows xp. I f i start developing code for the e-mail section of my project on a linux OS, what does that say for my application?

and i don't even know how i will incoorporate the e-mail section builed o linux, into the rest of my project.

t.

Window life to the next virus / linux live forever.

The advantage to having a 2° PC server linux / mac ( or only a minimac 500$, today mac is linux all in one more as 2000 application) is big ;
1 - secure disk to save data
2 - server to versioning your software http://subversion.tigris.org/ to save each steps.
3 - dns server to make your own lan whitout to write ip adress
4 - Mail server to send fast mail and imap to grab fast mail
5 - Apache lan server to put html doc and to devolop new software
6 - To check if your qt soft running on linux qt4 install package http://www.qtforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4044
7 - my children play window game on linux + wine http://www.winehq.com/ and nothing crash.

If you are linux beginner ubundu 6.10 having all listed software inside ... is not present ... open a terminal amministrator root and write apt-get install softpackagename [enter] .


If you dont like to have two pc ubuntu make your pc dual boot..

&& If you use Mingw compiler on window .... you can more understand linux or mac.

I am using a server called "best smtp server", which seems to work ok.

and i have things running on windows.

now when i run the code, my output is like this:

stateChanged 1
stateChanged 2
stateChanged 3
Connected
connected
stateChanged 6
stateChanged 0
disconneted
error "Unknown error"

and the error from the server log is:

{04/Jul/2007 12:43:15} [3888] [Debug] 127.0.0.1:1285 Connected to us on port 25
{04/Jul/2007 12:43:15} [3888] [Debug] 127.0.0.1:1285|25 -> 220 Welcome to ESMTP Server
{04/Jul/2007 12:43:15} [3888] [Debug] 127.0.0.1:1285|25 -> 550-Socket error Socket Error # 10054550 Connection reset by peer. caught
{04/Jul/2007 12:43:15} [3888] [Debug] 127.0.0.1:1285 Disconnected from us. Port: 25

does anyone have a theory as to why this little code does not work?

all suggestions welcomed.

Thanks in advance for your time.
