Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Very Small Business Project: under $100 (USD) Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: Windows, Language Specific, C++ / C, Visual Basic, Network Enter chat room for this bid request (0 active users at Sep 30, 2003 7:22:38 AM EDT) Description: Need a very simple control (OCX) written in Visual C++ 6 to be used in Visual Basic 6. Experence Required: Visual C++ 6.0 Visual Basic 6.0 TCP/IP Protocol SMTP/POP3 Protocols ATL Making Fast & Small Code The control will be a basic 'send mail via SMTP' component, with an added feature. The control should have the ability to automatically lookup the mail server of the reciepient, allowing the developer to not worry about choosing an SMTP server. This should be a pretty basic project, all your doing is allowing C++ code to be used in VB. You will need to find C++ code to send a message using an SMTP server, and code to lookup a domains MX record information. There should be heaps of this code arround. The control will use a simple 3 step method to sending email: 1. User tells control to send email to email address 2. Control looks up recipients domain's MX record 3. Control sends email Basically, if I choose to send an email to 'joe at joesisp dot com' (sorry, pretend thats a proper address syntax, refer to note at top) the control should automatically lookup the MX record for joesisp.com, and send the email using the SMTP server marked by joesisp.com's MX record. In instances where multiple MX records exist, send to the prefered SMTP server. The control should appear in the Visual Basic toolbox using the icon included in the attached ZIP file (small mail.bmp). Also, the control should use the larger icon (large mail.ico) for the actual control on the form. The dcontrols description (found in the Components of Visual Basic) should read "XYZ Co. SMTP Mailing Engine". The control (OCX) should have no dependencies. Control should be safely threaded so the VB calling application can still update its GUI and run timers while the control is sending an email or looking up an MX record. Sorry, RAC character limit cuts me off. Attached is the methods the control should use, an example as well as the icons required by the control. Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. Platform: All 32 Bit Versions of Windows Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (Control Used From Here) Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (Source Language) Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on: Apr 15, 2003 6:44:16 PM EDT Deadline legal notes: All times are expressed in the time zone of the site EDT (UT - 5).
