[SOLVED] QSslSocket - STARTTLS Connection Problem

[Saugglocke]

Hey,

I'm trying to implement the SMTP Client from this source: http://morf.lv/modules.php?name=tutorials&lasit=20

The SSL connection is working properly, but if I'm trying to use STARTTLS it fails to encrypt the connection and reports an unknown error:

CONNECTED!
CODE: 220! -> Send EHLO
CODE: 250! -> startClientEncryption()
ERROR: QAbstractSocket::UnknownSocketError

I also tried it this way:

CONNECTED!
CODE: 220! -> Send EHLO
CODE: 250! -> Send STARTTLS
CODE: 220! -> startClientEncryption()
ERROR: QAbstractSocket::UnknownSocketError

Already tried to connect via openssl s_client -connect host:587 -starttls smtp and it's working without issues.
System: Arch Linux, 64bit

What am I doing wrong? Maybe some missing libraries?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: QSslSocket::supportsSsl() -> reports true.

Hi Saugglocke,
I've the same problem. I test the SmtpClient-for-Qt from bluetiger9.
After starting STARTTLS the Code 220 was received and the following startClientEncryption() ends in a timeout because the destination Mailserver ends the connection.

220 smtp.1und1.de (mreue104) Welcome to Nemesis ESMTP server
250-smtp.1und1.de
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250-SIZE 120000000
250 HELP
220 OK

connected
EHLO localhost
STARTTLS
Network operation timed out
SendMessageTimeoutException

I've started the ClientEncryption with -1 (no timeout) the server also ends this connection.

The same code running on a Win machine (tested on 32bit and 64bit) with my development environment (VS2012, Qt5.0.1 32bit) works properly and the eMail was sent succesfully.

220 smtp.1und1.de (mreue104) Welcome to Nemesis ESMTP server

I added some vcredist versions (older MS C++ 2008 versions and the MS C++ 2012 release) but without any success.

I installed OpenSSL on Win, copied the sslea32y.dll, libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll in my programm directory - nothing.

Has someone an idea which special dll oder lib is needed for QSslSocket on target Win machine for a 32bit application?

Thanks.

Hi,
problem solved - I was on the wrong side of the road...
It must be copy the original sslea32y.dll, libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll from the development environment machine to target machine, not using new installed dlls from OpenSSL on target.
Now it works perfectly

Hey rumpi,

just tested the solution of bluetiger9 and it is working fine!

Thanks for the reply,
