Qt cannot send email

Question

I got some source from here about how to send email using qt's socket. But the code is not sending email, rather it's stucked after connected to smtp server.

My output is like

1 
stateChanged  QAbstractSocket::HostLookupState 
stateChanged  QAbstractSocket::ConnectingState 
stateChanged  QAbstractSocket::ConnectedState 
Connected  
constructor
2 

Answer 1

I have written SMTP code in the past and would recommend not doing it. There is a library called Qxt that has classes designed to send emails (QxtSmtp, QxtMailMessage, and QxtMailAttachment). This library is also built completely on Qt, so you get to use Qt's socket code anyways.
