If sending emails vis SMTP within VFP I am creating a log file which
shows which messages were successfully sent. If that log file gets
deleted is there any way to see what emails were successfully sent?
TIA

Maybe. If you're sending the emails through your in-house or ISP mail
server, there would be a record of them passing through. If you're
sending directly to the recipient's address, no, I don't think there's
any way to determine emails are successful if you lose the log.
You could always bcc the messages to an email address you control to
see which emails were sent, effectively creating a "sent" folder.

Ted: When going through the records, I stored the response in each
record so I don't need the log file to tell which ones failed. Whew!!

Hi, Jeff
When you said "if that log file gets deleted", I began to detect a
non-hypothetical question! <g>

Good catch Dan! It was not a hypothetical question. My customer sent
out several (a lot!) of emails of which 15 failed. Even though I gave
him specific instructions of what to do he deleted the log file. That
prompted the question. I then noticed that I saved the response in each
record so it's all good.
Seems to me I've made that mistake before. ;^)

I send error messages from a client's foxpro system through SMTP via my yahoo server and it does not keep a record in the sent box.

I use GMail for similar purposes from VFP apps and it does keep copies
under the Sent Mail label Also use it to send Package Inserts, EInvoices,
etc to clients. The inbox on the account then allows us to see what
bounced or otherwise was undeliverable.

Fred: I use MAPI myself for my email, but these users all use Outlook
and POP3 / SMTP is what I have to live with. It actually works great
and as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I am saving the sent status
in the record so all is well. I also improved my logging since I lost it.
Thanks,
Jeff

My clients that use GMail for the apps use Outlook for their
correspondence. No reason the two need to be together.
