Send email from within a game?

[davidwgoodall]

I would like to make a play by email game, the game it self is a simple board game which I'm sure this engine could handle. But I would real like to be able to send an email from within the game prefrable without having to use the players Outlook/Email App.

I have searched the forms & manual but can't find any reference to this type of thing, is it possiable?

Thanks for your time.

Not possible unless you use a plugin.
There may be a small chance that you can archive this via the TCP/IP plugin, but even if it can do that it's probable that you need to do some hard scriptings.

If you have a server, you can have the TCP/IP plugin contact it, and have it send the email...

Yeah, while it's theoretically possible to do with a plugin, it's not a trivial task.

Thanks for your answers, If I can't make an SMTP engine I thought about using their ISP's SMTP server to send the mail, they would add the address in as part of the game configuration.
