Re: QtmmSendMail without QTSMTPxxxx?

SSL was first added to the operating system in (IIRC) v4r3. And, frankly, was so buggy it was hard to use... there were major changes from v4r3 -> v4r4 -> v4r5 -> v5r1. Then the changes cooled down a bit.

I don't think I'd even attempt to code SSL on v4r4 (much less v4r2!).

I suggest coding it to the v5r1 level, and tell customers that the minimum release for SSL support is v5r1. You'd be doing them a disservice, quite frankly, to try to make SSL work earlier than that. If for no other reason than because the SSL standards available back then aren't considered secure anymore today.

Quite true.

But I'm afraid that what I know about coding for SSL, and a buck, might
get you a cup of coffee.

Then again, it's now rather painfully obvious that the first thing I'm
going to have to "make it do" is compile on a V4R4 box with a V4R2
compiler. Because while we can compile "/free" on our V6 box, doing so
is utterly meaningless in terms of something we can actually release,
because we test on (and advertise compatibility all the way back to) V4R4.
