SMTPSend problems on Mac

[Gary Connor]

Gary is using 5.2.3. so there is no new information that would contradict
your reasoning.

|Hi Bob,
|
|A while ago I had such problems with Studio 6.0.x on Mac 10.7.5 on my
laptop.
|I would get socket errors. When running the same code in Studio 5.2.2, no
|problem. What was interesting was, I figured out if I attempted to send the
|same email 12 times, I would get 11 socket errors, but it would always work
on
|the 12th iteration. Once it worked, I could continue to send e-mails as
long as I
|did not allow too much time to pass in between attempts. If Omnis became
|idle for some time, maybe ten minutes or more (not entirely sure about
exact
|time), it would fail again for 11 times.
|
|I could never reproduce this on other machines, which also where running
|10.7.5. Now that I have upgraded to 10.10, the problem has gone away.
|
|I did report this to Tiger Logic (case CA05163) as my suspicion was that it
was
|caused by a change made to Studio 6 causing an intermittent problem with
|socket handling, but perhaps it goes back further than that. I never used
5.2.3,
|only 5.2.2. Perhaps it was introduced in 5.2.3.
|
|My experience and your experience and that of Gary Conner suggest to me
|that there is some intermittent problem such as memory trampling or
|initialised variables with SMTPSend or socket handling. Would be
interesting
|to know what version of Studio Gary is using.
|
|Perhaps it would be an idea to report this to Tiger Logic.
|
