sending event email

[ccMcBride]

my smtp settings (this works with all other emails)

>I see a few issues with that setup.

>- Why are you setting a password only if SSL is used?  Even if you don't use SSL to encrypt the connection, you can still login securely by using satSASL instead of ?>atDefault, and then populating the TIdSMTP.SASLMechanism with secure SASLs like CRAM-SHA1, CRAM-MD5, etc.

misnamed field name.  NOT my structure, but is the structure being used.
enable_ssl is actually 'use encryption' and
flags is actually the method of encryption (0 being none)


--updated settings:

Code:

      SMTP.Host := cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('SERVERNAME').AsString;
      SMTP.Username := cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('USERNAME').AsString;
      if cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('Enable_ssl').AsBoolean then
      begin
         SMTP.AuthType := satDefault;
         SMTP.Password := DecryptStr(cdsDefaultSettingsACCOUNT_ID.AsInteger);
      end
      else
         SMTP.AuthType := satNone;
      if (not IsNullStr(cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('PORT').AsString)) and
         (cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('PORT').AsInteger <> 0) then
         SMTP.Port := cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('PORT').AsInteger
      else
         SMTP.Port := 25;
      if cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('flags').AsInteger <> 0 then
      begin
         IOHandler.Host := SMTP.host;
         IOHandler.Port := SMTP.Port;
         if cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('flags').AsInteger = 4 then //tls
//         begin
            ioHandler.sslOptions.SSLVersions := [sslvTLSv1, sslvTLSv1_1, sslvTLSv1_2]
//            ioHandler.sslOptions.method := sslvTLSv1_2
         else
            ioHandler.sslOptions.SSLVersions := [sslvSSLv2, sslvSSLv23,sslvSSLv3];
//            ioHandler.SSLOptions.Method := TIDSSLVersion(cdsDefaultSettings.FieldByName('flags').AsInteger - 1);
         SMTP.IOHandler := ioHandler;
         if cdsDefaultSettings.FieldbyName('flags').AsInteger = 4 then
            SMTP.UseTLS := utUseExplicitTLS;
      end
      else
      begin
         SMTP.ioHandler := nil;
         SMTP.UseTLS := utNoTLSSupport;
      end;
//   end;
   emMessage.From.Address := cdsDefaultSettings.fieldByName('username').AsString;
   if not isNullStr(cdsDefaultSettings.fieldByname('display_name').AsString) then
      emMessage.From.Name := cdsDefaultSettings.FieldbyName('display_name').AsString
   else
      emMessage.From.Name := globalConnection.LoginRec.LoginName;
   if cdsuserEmail.IsEmpty then
      emMessage.ReplyTo.EMailAddresses := cdsDefaultSettings.fieldByName('username').AsString
   else
   begin
      emMessage.ReplyTo.EMailAddresses := cdsUserEmail.fieldByName('email_prime').AsString;
      emMessage.From.EMailAddress := cdsUserEmail.fieldByName('email_prime').AsString;
   end;

code for adding the ics:

Code:

procedure tdlgEMail.CreateAttachment(fName: String; IsRelated: Boolean = False; pPart: Integer = -1);
begin
   if isEvent then
   begin
      if isCancel then
      begin
         dmEmail.emMessage.ContentType := 'text/calendar; charset="utf-8";method=CANCEL';
         dmEmail.emmessage.Body.Text := eventText.Text;
      end
      else
      begin

         with tIDText.Create(dmEMail.emMessage.Messageparts) do
         begin
            ContentType := 'text/calendar;method=REQUEST';
            Body.Text := eventText.Text;
         end;
         with TIdAttachmentFile.Create(dmEmail.emMessage.MessageParts, fName) do
         begin
            ContentDisposition := 'inline';
            ContentType := 'text/calendar;method=REQUEST';
            ExtraHeaders.Values['Content-ID'] := ExtractFileName(fName);
            ContentID := ExtractFileName(fName);
            Filename := ExtractFilename(fName);
   //           parentPart := 1;
         end
      end;
   end
   else
   begin
      with TIdAttachmentFile.Create(dmEmail.emMessage.MessageParts, fName) do
      begin
         if IsRelated then
         begin
            ContentDisposition := 'inline';
            ContentType := 'image/jpeg';
            ExtraHeaders.Values['Content-ID'] := ExtractFileName(fName);
            ContentID := ExtractFileName(fName);
         end
         else
            ContentType := GetMIMETypeFromFile(fName);
         Filename := ExtractFilename(fName);
         ParentPart := pPart;
      end;
   end;

end;

.

and the only difference between the two is this line:
not working: (throws recipient error when sent through outlook smtp, but works when I use gmail smtp server)
ORGANIZER;CN=3DConnie M.:mailto:conniem@provantagesoftware.com

Works:
ORGANIZER;MAILTO:conniem@provantagesoftware.com

I have tried putting the CN part in quotes, and tried putting it in double quotes, but I still get the same error.
so, is the message still malformed?
