Re: Mapi from web app to Exchange 5.5   

Hi Dan,

I had a look at the samples, but they only mention SMTP - I need an example 
with x.400 (this is a client requirement).

Regards

Jules

Umm.. in that case, I'm not sure. I don't know anything about x.400 
except roughly what the addresses look like, sadly.  
 
 Googling a bit, it looks as if http://www.net-
tel.co.uk/frames/api.shtml sells X.400 widgets of some sort -- their 
Simple MAPI stuff will most likely not have the problems with .Net that 
Microsoft's MAPI code does, so you could use that to send mail.

 Or you could try and write raw X400 code with sockets if you're feeling 
brave, though I have no idea how difficult that is. It gives the 
impression it's more awkward than raw SMTP code is..

 Or you could abandon .Net and just use normal old ASP, that'll work 
just fine. Or you could use CDO1.21 and .Net and cross your fingers that 
nothing goes wrong, though that's very much not advised. Or you could 
write a helper non-.Net app that does the mailing and call that from 
your .Net code.

 
 Oh, and you could try asking on microsoft.public.exchange.applications 
-- there's people there who know about this sort of server-end issue.

 Sorry I don't have anything more helpful.
