Problem with ‘Send Mail’ in VBP 5.6

[itai]

Hi

I have a ‘Send Mail’ step in my VBP project.
When used on previous versions (5.5, 5.4a) it worked just fine giving me a “Message successfully sent” log.

After upgrading to 5.6 the same ‘Send Mail’ step returns the following error:
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Connecting to SMTP server '10.1.20.11' on port 25
Error authenticating user: The specified option is not supported on this server (xmail.Comany.com Hello [10.1.20.132] )
Step 'email file sizes' failed
Build ended.
///////////////////////////////////////////////

The step itself is very basic, on the Server tab I only set the ‘Mail Server’, ‘Username’, ‘Password’ and ‘Domain’ fields everything else is left with its default values.

We have had several reports of issues with the SendMail action in Visual Build Professional 5.6, which appear to be related to a bug or two in a third-party component we use.

If you are experiencing this issue, two simple workarounds exist:
1) Uninstall Version 5.6 and reinstall Version 5.5 (still available for download on this site)
2) Use the VisBuildNet.dll file from Visual Build Professional 5.5, which is attached to this post (zipped for efficiency and to get thru most firewalls when downloaded).
Installation: copy the attached visbuildnet.dll over the existing same file in the Visual Build Professional installation folder (c:\program files\visbuildpro by default).
Note: some of the new version 5.6 network related features (ftp, telnet, etc) will not be available when using this workaround.

As soon as we have a fixed component or a fully tested solution, an updated download will be available...

The main download has been updated with a fix for this issue and the Replace in File issue (http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?threadid=667). Please download it, install and let us know if it resolves the issue for you. Thanks.

The update completely solved the Send Mail problem.
