[fpc-pascal] Pascal units to connect to an Exchange server

[luciano de souza]

Hello all,
From a Linux machine connected to a Windows machine by VPN, I’d like
to send e-mails programmatically using a Microsoft Exchange account.
Using Windows resources, I could call Outlook automation API to do
this task. But is the same possible with Linux resources?
Is there a Freepascal unit to handle with Exchange sending protocol?
Best Regards,

Why not just use somethng like Indy10 to implement an smtp sending
function?
It is quite simple and straightforward.
What exactly are you wanting to accomplish by mixing in Exchange and
Outlook?????

Just a guess, but it could be that the server the thread starter needs to
work with doesn't provide a SMTP endpoint. 🀷‍♀

Perhaps, this is the answer. In Outlook settings, I am not able to find SMTP.
I got the url server and some proxy settings. NTLM was one of parameters set.
If I don't have an SMTP endpoint, could I create a crawler to automate
the http connection available in Outlook Web App? In other words,
since I am able to use a web page to send e-mails, it's always true
that I can automate it, can't I?
In this case, I should study the requests and responses and, by means
of TFPHTTPVClient, to build something.

In Outlook this is the "outgoing mail" settings....
If you find the server, logon account and protocol (SSL etc) in
Outlook settings then you can use those with the Indy10 TIdSmtp
component.

In fact you don't really need the same server as you use to get emails
for sending emails out, you can use any SMTP server you have access
to. After all an email is just dropped into a mailbox with a target
address and the system delivers it to that target.

I don't really know how you can get under the skin of the Exchenge
Webmail app, though...

The underlying protocol of Exchange seems to be MAPI. So you could maybe
try if libmapi is sufficient for you though you'll need to convert its
corresponding C header to Pascal (you can try to use h2pas for that).
