0002284: SMTP service
I would like to know whether there is a possibility of adding new feature ,SMTP. It would be really nice to have a SMTP service in sphereserver. It would be efficient to send email to player.
No tags attached.

If you accept the humble opinion of a random wanderer... is never good to cram functionalities of other services inside a server executable that wasn't build for. A safe way would be the possibility to connect to an external SMTP service configurable in many ways... and leave the email sending to real and provely tested SMTP services (like exim).

By the way, hi! Seems everything still works here :)

I have no idea how mailing services works, but RunUO has support for SMTP mail directly from C+ / .net framework code, without use any external service

a quick search on the script and I found the magic keyword: System.Net.Mail
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail(v=vs.110).aspx [^]

I dont know if sphere can support it too, but if it support, it will be a great feature

btw welcome back furio, you're alive :D

Since I became developer, I'll look forward to it for what I suggested. At least, I'll try whether It is possible or not :)

This is not needed and has no place in sphere.
Use SYSSPAWN or SYSCMD to use and external mail client to send mail.
