SendSmtpMail causes exception c0000005

[COMPUTECHMD]

I have never been able to successfully send email using SendSmtpMail (but have no problems sending using SendMail). In short, here is my problem:
"OLE exception error: Exception code c0000005. OLE object may be corrupt"

I have tried the program on 3 different computers (3 different locations) using several different SMTP server setups as follows:

General:
- VFP 9.0 SP1
- Amyuni PDF Converter 4.0.1.2 (activeX interface)
- Code (generic example) used as follows: p_olePdfout.SendSmtpMail("localhost",25,"me@mydomain.com","me@mydomain.com","","","Test SMTP E-Mail","SMTP Test (Includes Attachment)","C:\Testfile.pdf;Testfile.pdf")

Computer 1:
- Windows XP Pro 64 bit
- SMTP server on internet (requires authentication, which I know SendSmtpMail does not support) as mail.mydomain.com
- Nicely returns error code -13, which is fine (= error connecting to server, which I expect since authentication is not supported)
- Though I can't send, this is all as expected/normal

Computer 2:
- Windows XP Home 32 bit
- Tried 2 different local SMTP servers (no authentication required) as follows:
- Softstack.com 'Free SMTP Server' as 'localhost', setup/tried both ports 25 & 465 (note: not a great SMTP server, also has 10 msg/day limit)
- PostCastServer.com 'PostCast Server Free Edition' port 25, as 'Mycomputername' (note: amazing SMTP server, and free/unlimited - this is preferred free server by far)
- The above works fine when I use Outlook Express setup to these SMTP server names/ports, no authentication and default settings, to send a normal/manual email.
- When I try and send using SendSmtpMail with same settings, I always get a "OLE exception error: Exception code c0000005. OLE object may be corrupt" crash, with both above SMTP servers and every combination of settings.

Computer 3:
- Windows XP Pro (not sure if 32 or 64 bit)
- Microsoft Exchange Server (SBS 2008) setup for SMTP server without authentication for this computer/user as 'MDaemin-US' port 25
- Same exact results as Computer 2 (i.e. I always get a "OLE exception error: Exception code c0000005. OLE object may be corrupt" crash)

I've uninstalled/reinstalled the PDF Converter, always full success. There is no other software that uses Amyuni products on these computers, and there has never been any version (major/minor) of any Amyuni product on any of these computers. SendMail (MAPI) always works fine on all these computers, as does PDF creation - it is only SendSmtpMail that always fails/crashes...

Anyone have any ideas, or is this a known issue with version 4???

Thanks in advance!

You can try SendSmtpMailEx and it includes the use of username and password.
Can you generate a SMTP log file? The log file will be generated just creating the file c:/temp/AmyuniSmtpClient.log - this file should be created as an empty text file

More information is also covered in our online documentation and I have referenced 2 pages from there:
http://amyuni.com/WebHelp/Amyuni_Docume ... ethods.htm
http://amyuni.com/WebHelp/Amyuni_Docume ... (SMTP).htm

You can always download a trial version of our latest product offering. With Windows 7 and 64-bit OS becoming the standards in the PC market, all the aspects of running under these environments have been reviewed and optimized for Version 4.5.
