Most e-mail servers use e-mail encryption, so there are two variations of the code in Listing
13-4, depending on which type of encryption is being used - transport layer security (TLS) or
SMTP SSL encryption. You can ind out what encryption is being used from your ISP, or
through trial and error. If you have a Gmail or Yahoo! account, I have included details on how
to send e-mails from their e-mail servers (providing you have an e-mail address with them).
Transport Layer Security
he code in Listing 13-5 will send an e-mail using TLS encryption.
