Using -starttls will block mailsend for infinite

[deajan]

Hello,

I've implemented mailsend in my project smartmontools-win to replace eldering sendemail. So far everything works great. But in my software you can choose between ssl and tls and send a test email. Using gmail with -ssl works great, but -starttls will make mailsend listen forever. I know gmail isn't supposed to use tls, but is there a way to make mailsend at least stop trying to send mail when a user tries -starttls ?

Here's what i've tested: mailsend1.17b15.exe -f mail@example.com -t mail@example.com -sub "Smartmontools test" -M "this is a test" -smtp smtp.gmail.com -port 465 -attach "c:\Program Files (x86)\smartmontools for Windows\smartmontools-install-6.3-1.log" -auth -user mail@example.com -pass PASSWORD -starttls -v Connecting to smtp.gmail.com:465 Will detect IPv4 or IPv6 automatically libmsock: using getaddrinfo AF_INET IPv4 IP address: 173.194.66.108:465 EINPROGRESS=10036,EWOULDBLOCK=10035 connect(): socket=300,rc=-1, errno=10035 (Debug) Try socket 300

gmai's starttls port is 587, would you try that and see if it still hangs? thanks.

Mailsend doesn't hang on starttls if port is 587. I just wanted to make my software more "user proof" as the choice is given to select the protocol and the port, and the bad combination makes it hang.

ok. I will add a read timeout in the next release. thanks.

develop branch has the fix and the bins directory has the windows binary.

Hello,

New version works like a charm, i can now update my software.

Just for my own information, do you write test scripts for every bug you fix ? Great work, and big thanks for mailsend :+1:

Yes I try to test in all supported platforms. It the test is generic enough, I keep the script around.
