Question

Today I need to send email in my OPA apps. Then I’am trying to use opa functions about mail.

I am using the module : stdlib.web.mail.
And the OPA version :

Opa compiler (c) MLstate -- version S3.5 -- build 320

Then, with function Email.try_send it’s a blocking function and this function block the client long long time… (I have never seen this function terminate….)

Then I have tried to use the function Email.try_send_async, with a “callback function” like this :

(a-> jlog(Email.string_of_send_status(a)))

I have never seen in console or on client side any error or success message…
It’s useless to precise that I have never got email too 🙁

Then my questions are :

• Could you tell me more about this module ?
• Why am I never getting status message ?
• My computer is on local network, maybe I must configure some “package” on my computer to get email working, in this case which “package” is using OPA ?

Answer 1

In fact the problem was linked to my adsl box which had a security option enabled.
Security option was allowing only smtp of my ISP.

Maybe you must had something to detect it, and then throw an error more verbose than nothing 🙂
