ValidateForSMIME Method

Validates an e-mail signing certificate.

certificatevalidator.validateForSMIME(emailAddress, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Use this method to validate an e-mail security certificate.

This is a variant of Validate method that performs some additional e-mail specific checks, imposed by e-mail certificate rules. This method returns the overall chain validation result.
