Indy 10 TIdSMTP UseTLS property
My question is about SMTP (TIdSMTP component) and TLS.
UseTLS property can have the following values:
utNoTLSSupport
utUseExplicitTLS
utUseImplicitTLS
utUseRequireTLS
After doing many searches I am confused about those values.
This is what I found.
utNoTLSSupport = unsecure connection
utUseImplicitTLS = uses SSL unconditionally from the moment the socket is connected
utUseRequireTLS &Â utUseExplicitTLS = allow TIdSMTP to query the server for its capabilities after connecting and then enable SSL dynamically only if the server allows it
Use utUseRequireTLS if you do not want to use an unencrypted connection
Use utUseExplicitTLS if you are willing to use an unencrypted connection
I am a little bit lost now...
In Thunderbird you have the options "TLS", "TLS if available" and "SSL". To wich UseTLS properties values these options match?
Please help me!

mychel,
I did not meant that I'm not sure about the whole thing I was telling you, I just can't remember the indy 10 stuff especially. But the meaning of explicit/implicit TLS etc. is no invention of Indy. It has to be with the way SMTP is handling TLS and SSL in general. e.g any smtp client with any smtp server.
So what you have to do is to determine on your own, how you can handle the cert stuff etc. with indy 10 if you still want to use it. Please be warned regarding the instability if you use it in a production environment.
And.... btw. 250pts for a confirmation of what I said? hmm, call me picky, but that wouldn't be fair. But anyway, they are your points, you can do what you want with them.

Sorry, real_icecoke, I just wanted to attract more people to my question :)
np - as I said. They are your points.
But I guess noone will just confirm or repeat what other community users said before. But if something is unclear from my statement, that just ask for this. This would be a good start for other peoples an me to give more information on this. I would be glad to help if I can.

You can use Synapse Lib. to use SMTP with TLS.
