SMTP STARTTLS

[michele_selea]

Hi, I'm using SMTPClientSession to send email, but if I use smtp.gmail.com I got STARTTLS that in login function is not supported. Do you think that you'll implement the TLS protocoll?
I tried to implement the TLS protocol over SMTP. But the DialogSocket member is private for the SMTPClientSession class, so I can't extend the class and change the socket from StreamSocket to SecureStreamSocket. I don't know if it's possible to implement TLS protocol that way. I hope that this functionality will provided with new release of poco library.

I've just hit this problem as well, I'm working on a workaround that re-implements the SMTPClientSession class with just the bits (I think) I need.

Since using STARTTLS on port 25 rather than smtps is the IEFT recommendation (and its all that Exchange supports), I would hope that this minor issue would be looked at soon.

I'll look into that in the coming days. Should not be too much work.
