PSMTP Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

The PSMTP component is used to send encrypted and/or signed emails with or without attachments using OpenPGP.

Syntax

ipworksopenpgp.Psmtp

Remarks

You can send an OpenPGP signed and encrypted message using the PSMTP component by calling the Encrypt, Sign, and SignAndEncrypt methods. Additionally, it enables you to create messages bound for multiple recipients with different keys, simultaneously encrypt and compress with the most popular compression algorithms, and control other aspects such as the encrypting algorithm to use.

Construct the Message

To begin specify common email properties such as SendTo, Cc, BCc, Subject, and MessageText. Connection information is specified by setting MailServer, and MailPort.

Sign

To sign a message add the sender's private key to Keys. For instance:

psmtp.Keys.Add(new Key("c:\\my_keyring_dir", "sender@nsoftware.com"));
psmtp.Keys[0].Passphrase = "password";
The specified private key will be used to sign the message when Sign is called.

Encrypt

To both sign and encrypt a message call SignAndEncrypt.

To encrypt a message add the recipient's public key to RecipientKeys. For instance:

psmtp.RecipientKeys.Add(new Key("c:\\my_keyring_dir", "recipient@nsoftware.com"));
The specified public key will be used to encrypt the message when Encrypt is called.

Sign and Encrypt

You can call the SignAndEncrypt method to sign and encrypt messages in one step. Set the public key of the recipient to be used for encryption in the RecipientKeys property and the private key to be used to sign the message in .

Send

Once all the appropriate properties have been set, call the Send method and the message will be sent to its intended recipient(s).
