Component TSmtpCli implements client-side of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol as specified in RFC 2821, and MIME message format according to RFC 1521 and 2045. Currently supported SMTP Service Extensions for Authentication are AUTH LOGIN, AUTH PLAIN, AUTH CRAM-MD5 and AUTH CRAM-SHA1 (RFC 2554 as well as RFC 1734). The TSmtpCli methods are non-blocking, a synchronously working counterpart is also available, see TSyncSmtpCli.
