Welcome to OstroSoft - Home of Internet Tools
What's New:
January 10, 2009 SMTP Component 7 (OSSMTP) is available for download. New version provides TLS/SSL support and works with mailservers, requiring secure authentication.
New version supports all the methods and properties of a previous version, but is not backward-compatible, since it's based on a different technology (.NET assembly versus COM component).
Within the next few weeks we will provide programming examples for using new version of OSSMTP with .NET languages, as well as workarounds for using OSSMTP with older COM languages.
November 4, 2007 POP3 Component 2.4.2 (OSPOP3) is available for download. Component allows to retrieve email messages from POP3 mailserver, check mailbox status, parse retrieved messages from Visual Basic 6 and other programming and scripting languages, supporting COM. New version fixes case conversion in attachment headers and "disappearing" HTML part in non-fully POP3-compliant messages.
November 15, 2006 Warning. There is a new wave of emails on Internet, supposedly sent from OstroSoft. Remember - email headers are very easy to forge. Use common sense and spam filters. Configure your mailservers not to bounce invalid messages - it helps against spammers.
OstroSoft never sends emails with attachments. If you receive one - it's fake. Even worse - it's almost guaranteed to contain a virus. OstroSoft website is the only reliable place to obtain OstroSoft software.
February 8, 2006 Update on an issue with Webroot SpySweeper, claiming OstroSoft SMTP Component (OSSMTP) is a spyware. more
Good news - it's not an issue anymore.
As reported by our customers (Webroot never got back to us), latest SpySweeper release no longer flags OSSMTP.dll as a spyware.
Special thanks to Michel from EXP Systems for his help in resolving this problem.
December 11, 2005 OstroSoft Winsock Component 2.3 (oswinsck) is available for download.

New version offers improvements in blocking TCP object.
