[AccessD] BLAT

Jim,

  The DLL version gives you more control over error handling as your not
shelling out like your are with the .EXE, but last time I checked, the .DLL
was behind feature wise over the .EXE.

  As for checking what is going on, use the verbose switch on the .EXE
command line and it will tell you everything it's doing.  Should be pretty
easy to spot the problem from there.

  And don't forget, because it is the command line, anything you have it
doing you can try manually yourself from a command line.

Jim.

Hi All:

I have set up a client, who has some legacy software (command based), with
the email client BLAT exe file. When testing it appears to be working
correctly but when running this on the client's site there appears to be
some instability. Sometime the message goes through and sometime not. 

I have not been able to create an error checking routine that catches all
the errors. I am also wondering if the BLAT dll might be a better way to go?
Is the better option than BLAT? I am not sure whether the IPS host is
translating some of the emails as spam?

Any suggestions or alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

Jim
