NeoBook 5.7 Beta Released!

Sendmail won't work with SSL ports. What are the exclamation points for?

What are the exclamation points for?

From Help File (really is not quite important in this case. I usually put the exclamation for habit)

By adding an exclamation point you can instruct NeoBook to ignore the formula. For example:

SetVar "[Text]" "!1+1"

will set the variable [Test] to "1+1". (Note: The exclamation point is removed by NeoBook.) You can use this technique in any NeoBook Action where numeric parameters are allowed.

Have you tried the code without the exclamation points? Could be that's causing a problem.

Well this really quite weird.

I delete the exclamation points, compile, send again (port 25) and it works!

But I put the exclamation points back and works too!

Now I'm really confused.

I would say to get out of the habit of including it, unless you really need it. Not all errors are static. It could depend on the variable content, or if Windows had it's finger up it's butt when you tested it. Could also be the response from the smtp server being used.

Whatever it was, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I've never used the exclamation point in any of my sendmail code, and it's always worked.

Yes, you're right. Looking for this I found a plenty of information, this it isn't exclusive of Neobook. But I saw 5.7.0 and I though it was some of this version because in the 5.6.4a, till this moment, it never appeared to me.

*UPDATE*

I notice that Yahoo smtp server works, but Hotmail or Gmail don't. Then, same problem in 5.7b or 5.6.4a with these servers.

I think GMail and Hotmail have to be configured to allow access from external applications.

Dave is right. Plus, Gmail and Hotmail use dedicated SSL ports (TLS).

Take a look at Al Meyer's SMTP plugin. I've successfully used it to send mail through gmail. Haven't tried with Hotmail:

I noticed wrong calculations regarding the Track Bar's variables.

As far as I know nothing about the Track Bar was changed in v5.7. Can you provide an example that demonstrates the problem?

Both v5.7 and v5.6.4a produce the same results which are correct. The problem is with the math formula. The correct code should be:

Code: Select all

Math "255-([Taskbar_TrackBar]*2.83)" "0" "[Bar_Trans]"

This will produce a range between 0 and 255.
