PMSMTP
(ver 0.17b)
Freeware


PMSMTP is a "Mail Transfer Agent" for Pegasus Mail that I started from 
a copy of the TDOSLY15.CPP module of DosLynx. I developed PMSMTP when 
I decided to switch to an ISP that required SMTP AUTH LOGIN authentication 
for relaying my mail.

PMPOP, the "official" Internet Mail Transfer Agent for releases of Pegasus 
Mail for DOS, comes in two versions. The version for Packet Driver based 
installations, PDPMPOP, doesn't seem to support the SMTP AUTH LOGIN 
extension. By providing this missing support, PMSMTP complements PMPOP's 
capabilities and widens the group of SMTP servers usable with Pegasus Mail.

PMSMTP32, which was brand new with version 0.15b, is an enhanced variation 
or version of PMSMTP, which supports the secure (TLS/SSL) connections that 
some SMTP servers now require. I developed PMSMTP32 after my ISP "transitioned" 
to a "Google App", based on Gmail, which requires the secure connections it 
supports. As PMPOP doesn't seem to support these servers, either, PMSMTP32 
further widens the group of SMTP servers usable with Pegasus Mail. For oldtimers, 
the bad news may be that PMSMTP32 requires a '386 based (or, later) PC.

PMSMTP and PMSMTP32 version 0.17b upgrade PMSMTP and PMSMTP32 version 0.16b, 
after another successful run of over seven years. Featured in this update is 
a remake of PMSMTP32, which incorporates a relatively new OpenSSL version 1.0.2u 
library. This insures an ability to negotiate and perform to the TLS v1.2 level 
of session encryption.

Version 0.17b packages provide a complete replacement and upgrade for all of the 
older PMSMTP packages.  However, if you are already using PMSMTP or PMSMTP32, 
you may want to take care to avoid replacing your established PMSMTP.CFG file 
with the up-to-date, but untailored, new one. 


NOTE: PMPULL and PMPULLR are POP companions for PMSMTP32 and PMSMTP, respectively.
