Hi,

I've installed Indy 9.0.18 on my C++Builder Professional edition IDE.

I've got some old information (2002 -  2004) on the Internet about
using the TIdSMTP to connect to the Gmail SMTP server which
requires SSL authentication.

I put the code bellow in the IdSMTP::OnConnected event hendler :
[code]
void __fastcall TForm1::SMTPConnected(TObject *Sender)
{
  SMTP->SendCmd("STARTTLS", 220); // jjf Applications hungs here
  SSLHandler->PassThrough = false;
  SMTP->Authenticate();
}
[/code]

If I comment the line {SMTP->SendCmd("STARTTLS", 220); } the application
execute the Authenticate method and there is no any Exception, otherwise the
application freezes !

Is the Indy 9 TIdSMTP component able to perform an SSL connection or not ?
Or it doesn't work with C++Builder and just with Delphi ?

Thanks a lot.
