Version History:

- 3.1 :

- 4.0 : Added an RFC 1123 format date header.

- 4.0.2 : Renamed from BE_SMTPSend

Notes:

- The content of emails on some servers appears to strip FileMaker line endings. Try replacing Char ( 13 ) with Char ( 10 ) in the email content.

- Some servers, in particular various Exchange or Office365 based servers use a different authentication method. When attempting SMTP normally you may get a 35 error. You can force the correct method with :

- BE_CurlSetOption ( "BE_CURLOPT_FORCE_STARTTLS" ; True )

before doing BE_SMTPSend.
