PFileMailer Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The PFileMailer class is used to send encrypted and/or signed plaintext-formatted emails, with any attachments, using OpenPGP.
Syntax
class ipworksopenpgp.PFileMailer
Remarks
The PFileMailer class offers an easy-to-use interface: you can send an OpenPGP signed and encrypted message using the PSMTP class by calling the encrypt, sign, and sign_and_encrypt 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.
Construct the Message
To begin specify common email properties such as send_to, cc, b_cc, subject, and message_text. Connection information is specified by setting mail_server and mail_port.
Sign
To sign a message specify a recipient key using the Key* properties. For instance:
PFileMailer1.KeyCount = 1
PFileMailer1.KeyKeyring(0) = "c:\my_keyring_dir"
PFileMailer1.KeyUserId(0) = "sender@nsoftware.com"
PFileMailer1.KeyPassphrase(0) = "password"
The specified private key will be used to sign the message when sign is called.
Encrypt
To encrypt a message specify a recipient key using the RecipientKey* properties. For instance:
PFileMailer1.RecipientKeyCount = 1
PFileMailer1.RecipientKeyKeyring(0) = "c:\my_keyring_dir"
PFileMailer1.RecipientKeyUserId(0) = "recipient@nsoftware.com"
The specified public key will be used to encrypt the message when encrypt is called.
Sign and Encrypt
To sign and encrypt a message in one step call sign_and_encrypt. The message will be signed with the private keys specified in the Key* properties and encrypted with the public keys defined in the RecipientKeys* properties.
Add Attachments
To add attachments simply call add_attachment. The ProcessAttachments setting specifies whether attachments are also encrypted and signed.
Send
Call the send method once the necessary properties have been set for each recipient.

Remarks
The user Id of the key. When a key is loaded this property is populated with the user Id associated with the key. This property may be set to load a key from the keyring. When this property is set the class will search the keyring for a key associated with the UserId specified.
When loading a key with multiple user Ids, this property will be populated with the UserId that was most recently added to the key. To discover all of the UserIds associated with a key query this property and key_other_user_ids after loading the key.
The UserId format is:
FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>Not all values are required when selecting or generating a key, but at least FirstName or Email are required.
When using this property to select a key you may also specify the key's Id, or any of its subkeys' Ids, instead of a user Id. The class will then search for a key with a matching Id. This is helpful in situations where you do not have the UserId but still need to load the key, such as within the OpenPGP class's on_recipient_info event.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.

def get_local_host() -> str: ... def set_local_host(value: str) -> None: ...
local_host = property(get_local_host, set_local_host)
Default Value
""
Remarks
The local_host property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.
In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.
If the class is connected, the local_host property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
NOTE: local_host is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.
mail_port Property
The server port for SMTP (default 25).
Syntax
def get_mail_port() -> int: ... def set_mail_port(value: int) -> None: ...
mail_port = property(get_mail_port, set_mail_port)
Default Value
25
Remarks
This property contains the server port for SMTP (default 25). A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established. Any attempt to change this property while connected will fail with an error.
For implicit SSL, use port 465 (please refer to the ssl_start_mode property for more information).
mail_server Property
The name or address of a mail server (mail relay).
Syntax
def get_mail_server() -> str: ... def set_mail_server(value: str) -> None: ...
mail_server = property(get_mail_server, set_mail_server)
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name for a mail relay through which messages will be routed. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is in progress.
The current version of the class does not provide a default value for the mail relay. You must provide a host name yourself. Generally, any internet host with an SMTP server will suffice (a UNIX host for example), but it is preferable to select a mail_server that is close to the machine sending mail.
If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.
message_date Property
Date of the mail message (optional).
Syntax
def get_message_date() -> str: ... def set_message_date(value: str) -> None: ...
message_date = property(get_message_date, set_message_date)
Default Value
"*"
Remarks
If this property contains a non-empty string, then a Date SMTP header is created and attached to the message. If it is an empty string, then the date information is added by the mail relay(s) the message goes through.
Special case: if this property is set to the special value "*", a Date SMTP header reflecting the current date and time is generated when message_headers is computed and the message is sent. This is the default behavior of the class
RFC 822 contains detailed date format specifications. An example of a valid date is "Fri, 1 Mar 96 21:24:52 EST".
message_id Property
The Message Identifier for the message.
Syntax
def get_message_id() -> str: ... def set_message_id(value: str) -> None: ...
message_id = property(get_message_id, set_message_id)
Default Value
"*"
Remarks
This property contains the Message Identifier for the message. When set, the value of message_id is used as the Message-ID header value of the message. A special value of "*" will automatically generate a random unique identifier for the message.
message_recipient_count Property
The number of records in the MessageRecipient arrays.
Syntax
def get_message_recipient_count() -> int: ... def set_message_recipient_count(value: int) -> None: ...

Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains the full text of the message.
The text contained in this property should be a collection of lines with lengths less than or equal to 80 bytes separated by CRLF ("\r\n") . The text in the message lines must contain 7-bit characters so that the message can successfully pass through the multitude of mail systems on the internet.
The class automatically escapes lines that start with a "." by adding another as specified in RFC 821. The message text is unescaped by the receiving agent, so the process is fully transparent.
other_headers Property
An RFC 822 compliant string consisting of extra headers.
Syntax
def get_other_headers() -> str: ... def set_other_headers(value: str) -> None: ...
other_headers = property(get_other_headers, set_other_headers)
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains a string of headers to be appended to the message headers created from other properties like send_to, subject, etc.
The headers must be of the format "header: value" as specified in RFC 822. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this property with caution. If this property contains invalid headers, message delivery might not be successful.
This property is useful for extending the functionality of the class. A good example is delivery of MIME encoded messages.
SPECIAL CASE: if this property starts with an empty line (CRLF), then the value of this property is used instead of the normally computed message headers.
Example (Send an Email With Additional Header)
component.MailServer = "MyServer";
component.From = "me@server.com";
component.SendTo = "recipient@server.com";
component.Subject = "My Subject";

Default Value
""
Remarks
The user Id of the key. When a key is loaded this property is populated with the user Id associated with the key. This property may be set to load a key from the keyring. When this property is set the class will search the keyring for a key associated with the UserId specified.
When loading a key with multiple user Ids, this property will be populated with the UserId that was most recently added to the key. To discover all of the UserIds associated with a key query this property and key_other_user_ids after loading the key.
The UserId format is:
FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>Not all values are required when selecting or generating a key, but at least FirstName or Email are required.
When using this property to select a key you may also specify the key's Id, or any of its subkeys' Ids, instead of a user Id. The class will then search for a key with a matching Id. This is helpful in situations where you do not have the UserId but still need to load the key, such as within the OpenPGP class's on_recipient_info event.
The recipient_key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the recipient_key_count property.
reply_to Property
A mail address to which to reply (optional).

reply_to = property(get_reply_to, set_reply_to)
Default Value
""
Remarks
If this property contains a non-empty string, a Reply-To SMTP header is created for the message. This header shows the address to use for replies (useful if this address is different from the one in from_).
If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.
send_to Property
A comma separated list of addresses for destinations (required).

Examples of valid addresses are: "Friendly Name" <address@company.com> or address@company.com
The class will fail if the mail_server returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or cc but it will silently ignore the error if the same happens with an email address specified in b_cc.
If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.
NOTE: You must clear the message_recipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
This setting specifies whether TLS/SSL is enabled in the class. When False (default) the class operates in plaintext mode. When True TLS/SSL is enabled.
TLS/SSL may also be enabled by setting ssl_start_mode. Setting ssl_start_mode will automatically update this property value.
ssl_provider Property
This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.
Syntax
def get_ssl_provider() -> int: ... def set_ssl_provider(value: int) -> None: ...
ssl_provider = property(get_ssl_provider, set_ssl_provider)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.
Possible values are:
0 (sslpAutomatic - default) | Automatically selects the appropriate implementation. |
1 (sslpPlatform) | Uses the platform/system implementation. |
2 (sslpInternal) | Uses the internal implementation. |
In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.
When Automatic is selected, on Windows the class will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS the class will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used on all platforms.
ssl_server_cert_encoded Property
This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded).
Syntax
def get_ssl_server_cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...
ssl_server_cert_encoded = property(get_ssl_server_cert_encoded, None)
Default Value
""
Remarks
This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The ssl_server_cert_store and ssl_server_cert_subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.
When ssl_server_cert_encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current ssl_server_cert_store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, ssl_server_cert_subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, ssl_server_cert_subject is set to an empty string.
This property is read-only.
ssl_start_mode Property
Determines how the class starts the SSL negotiation.
Syntax
def get_ssl_start_mode() -> int: ... def set_ssl_start_mode(value: int) -> None: ...
ssl_start_mode = property(get_ssl_start_mode, set_ssl_start_mode)
Default Value
3
Remarks
The ssl_start_mode property may have one of the following values:
0 (sslAutomatic) | If the remote port is set to the standard plaintext port of the protocol (where applicable), the class will behave the same as if ssl_start_mode is set to sslExplicit. In all other cases, SSL negotiation will be implicit (sslImplicit). |
1 (sslImplicit) | The SSL negotiation will start immediately after the connection is established. |
2 (sslExplicit) | The class will first connect in plaintext, and then explicitly start SSL negotiation through a protocol command such as STARTTLS. |
3 (sslNone - default) | No SSL negotiation, no SSL security. All communication will be in plaintext mode. |
subject Property
The subject of the mail message (optional).
Syntax
def get_subject() -> str: ... def set_subject(value: str) -> None: ...
subject = property(get_subject, set_subject)
Default Value
""
Remarks
The string in this property is sent with a Subject SMTP header to the mail recipient.
If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.
timeout Property
A timeout for the class.
Syntax
def get_timeout() -> int: ... def set_timeout(value: int) -> None: ...
timeout = property(get_timeout, set_timeout)
Default Value
60
Remarks
If the timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.
If timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
The class will use do_events to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.
If timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class fails with an error.
Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.
The default value for the timeout property is 60 seconds.
user Property
A user identifier to login as in the MailServer .
Syntax
def get_user() -> str: ... def set_user(value: str) -> None: ...
user = property(get_user, set_user)
Default Value

config Method
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
connect Method
This method connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command.
Syntax
def connect() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command, thus preparing to send messages. Any number of messages can later be sent using the send method.
Example. Connecting and Sending an Email:
control.MailServer = "MyServer"
control.From = "me@server.com"
control.SendTo = "recipient@server.com"
control.Subject = "My Subject"
control.MessageText = "This is the message body"
control.Connect()
control.Send()
control.Disconnect()
disconnect Method
This method disconnects from the SMTP server.
Syntax
def disconnect() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method disconnects from the mail relay.
do_events Method
Processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
def do_events() -> None: ...
Remarks
When do_events is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
encrypt Method
Encrypts the message.
Syntax
def encrypt() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method encrypts the specified message.
The message is encrypted with the public keys specified in the RecipientKey* properties.
When encrypting, the following properties may be used to further configure the class:
interrupt Method
Interrupt the current method.
Syntax
def interrupt() -> None: ...
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
process_queue Method
Sends the messages which have previously been queued into QueueDir .
Syntax
def process_queue(queue_dir: str) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method sends the messages which have previously been queued into QueueDir. The on_pi_trail event shows the interaction with the server as messages as are processed.
This method looks in the directory for files with extension ".queued" and starts processing them.
When processing starts, the file extension is changed to ".sending". If an error happens at this stage, the sending process is aborted, and the file extension is changed to ".failed".
If the file is successfully sent, the file is normally deleted, unless the KeepQueue configuration setting is set to True, in which case the file extension is instead changed to ".sent" and the queue file is not deleted.
queue Method
Queues the message into QueueDir .
Syntax
def queue(queue_dir: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method queues the message into QueueDir. The message is queued into a unique file into the directory QueueDir for future processing.
QueueDir must already exist, or an error will be generated. Alternatively, QueueDir may be set to "*" to return the result as a string instead of writing it to a file.
The method returns the name of the unique queue file created in QueueDir. The file extension is ".queued".
Please refer to the process_queue method for more information on email queue processing.
reset_headers Method
Resets all the message headers to empty.
Syntax
def reset_headers() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method resets all the message headers to "" (empty string). Use this method before creating a new message, so that headers from the previous message are not carried over to the next one.
send Method
This sends the current message and the MIME-encoded attachment.
Syntax
def send() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method sends the current message and the MIME-encoded attachment. If the class is not connected to the mail relay, a connection is created, the message is sent, and then the connection is closed unless an error occurs.
If the class is already connected (by use of the connect method), the connection will remain open after the message is sent. To disconnect, call the disconnect method.
sign Method
Signs the message.
Syntax
def sign() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method signs the specified message.
The message is signed with the private key specified in the Key* properties.
When signing, the following properties may be used to further configure the class:
sign_and_encrypt Method
Signs and encrypts the current message.
Syntax
def sign_and_encrypt() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method signs and encrypts the specified message.
The message is encrypted with the public keys specified in the RecipientKey* properties and signed with the private key specified in the Key* properties.
When encrypting, the following properties may be used to further configure the class:
When signing, the following properties may be used to further configure the class:
on_connection_status Event
This event is fired to indicate changes in the connection state.
Syntax
class PFileMailerConnectionStatusEventParams(object): @property def connection_event() -> str: ... @property def status_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_connection_status() -> Callable[[PFileMailerConnectionStatusEventParams], None]: ... @on_connection_status.setter def on_connection_status(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerConnectionStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_connection_status event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.
The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:
Firewall connection complete. | |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | |
Remote host connection complete. | |
Remote host disconnected. | |
SSL or S/Shell connection broken. | |
Firewall host disconnected. |
on_end_transfer Event
This event is fired when the message text completes transferring.
Syntax
class PFileMailerEndTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_end_transfer() -> Callable[[PFileMailerEndTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_end_transfer.setter def on_end_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerEndTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
If message_text is not empty, the on_end_transfer event is fired when the message_text finishes transferring from the local host to the mail_server. If message_text is empty, the event is not fired.
If a file is attached to the message_text via the attached_file property, then on_end_transfer fires again when the file finishes transferring. For more information, go to the description of the attached_file property.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
on_error Event
Information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
class PFileMailerErrorEventParams(object): @property def error_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_error() -> Callable[[PFileMailerErrorEventParams], None]: ... @on_error.setter def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
on_key_passphrase Event
Fired if the passphrase of current key is incorrect or empty.
Syntax
class PFileMailerKeyPassphraseEventParams(object): @property def user_id() -> str: ... @property def key_id() -> str: ... @property def passphrase() -> str: ... @passphrase.setter def passphrase(value) -> None: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_key_passphrase() -> Callable[[PFileMailerKeyPassphraseEventParams], None]: ... @on_key_passphrase.setter def on_key_passphrase(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerKeyPassphraseEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event fires when the passphrase for the key is required. The passphrase must be specified before operations requiring the secret key are attempted. The passphrase may be supplied by setting the Passphrase parameter in this event, or by specifying the key_passphrase property before attempting the operation.
The passphrase is required when using the following methods in KeyMgr:
- add_user_id
- sign_user_id
- change_expiration_date
- change_passphrase
When using the OpenPGP class, or an email-based class, the following methods require a passphrase for the key:
- decrypt
- sign
- sign_and_encrypt
on_pi_trail Event
Traces the commands sent to the mail server, and the respective replies.
Syntax
class PFileMailerPITrailEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... @property def message() -> str: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_pi_trail() -> Callable[[PFileMailerPITrailEventParams], None]: ... @on_pi_trail.setter def on_pi_trail(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerPITrailEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_pi_trail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all the interaction between the client and the server, line by line, except for message header and body transfers.
The Message parameter contains the full text of the message. The Direction parameter shows the originator of the message:
0 (Client) | The Message originates from the client. |
1 (Server) | The Message originates from the server. |
2 (Info) | The Message is an informative message originating from the client software (the class code). |
on_progress Event
Fired as progress is made.
Syntax
class PFileMailerProgressEventParams(object): @property def bytes_processed() -> int: ... @property def percent_processed() -> int: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_progress() -> Callable[[PFileMailerProgressEventParams], None]: ... @on_progress.setter def on_progress(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerProgressEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the class.
The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.
The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.
on_ssl_server_authentication Event
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
class PFileMailerSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams(object): @property def cert_encoded() -> bytes: ... @property def cert_subject() -> str: ... @property def cert_issuer() -> str: ... @property def status() -> str: ... @property def accept() -> bool: ... @accept.setter def accept(value) -> None: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_ssl_server_authentication() -> Callable[[PFileMailerSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssl_server_authentication.setter def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
on_ssl_status Event
Shows the progress of the secure connection.
Syntax
class PFileMailerSSLStatusEventParams(object): @property def message() -> str: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_ssl_status() -> Callable[[PFileMailerSSLStatusEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssl_status.setter def on_ssl_status(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerSSLStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
on_start_transfer Event
Fired when the message text starts transferring.
Syntax
class PFileMailerStartTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_start_transfer() -> Callable[[PFileMailerStartTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_start_transfer.setter def on_start_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerStartTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
If message_text is not empty, the on_start_transfer event is fired when the message_text starts transferring from the local host to the mail_server. If message_text is empty, the event is not fired.
If a file is attached to the message_text via the attached_file property, then on_start_transfer fires again when the file starts transferring. Please go to the description of the attached_file property for more information.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
on_status Event
Shows the progress of the operation.
Syntax
class PFileMailerStatusEventParams(object): @property def message() -> str: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_status() -> Callable[[PFileMailerStatusEventParams], None]: ... @on_status.setter def on_status(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It may be used to track the progress of an operation.
The level of detail is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
on_transfer Event
Fired while the message text gets transferred to MailServer .
Syntax
class PFileMailerTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... @property def bytes_transferred() -> int: ... @property def percent_done() -> int: ... @property def text() -> bytes: ... # In class PFileMailer: @property def on_transfer() -> Callable[[PFileMailerTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_transfer.setter def on_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[PFileMailerTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
One or more on_transfer events are fired during message delivery. Messages consist of message_text and an optional attached_file. The BytesTransferred parameter shows the number of bytes sent starting from the beginning of message_text and/or attached_file.
Text contains the current portion of the message being sent.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.
Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
PFileMailer Config Settings
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.PFILEMailer Config Settings
Note: some mail applications such as GpgOL cannot process cleartext signatures.
zlib | 1-6 |
zip | 1-6 |
bzip2 | 1-9 |
DSA Notes
DSA requires that the hash be 160 bits or larger, which means MD5 is not a suitable algorithm. When DSA Signature Hash Algorithm selection is enabled (default) the class will use the preferred algorithm from the key if it meets the requirements for DSA. If the preferred algorithm is MD5 and does not meed the requirements for DSA the class will automatically use a suitable algorithm based on the Q element of the DSA key (may be SHA1, SHA224, or SHA256).
ECDSA Notes
The ECDSA Signature Hash Algorithm requirements are directly related to the key_curve used by the key. When this setting is enabled (default) the class will use the preferred algorithm from the key if it meets the requirements for ECDSA. If the preferred algorithm does not meet the requirements the class will automatically select a valid hash algorithm based on the curve as follows:
Curve | Hash Algorithm |
secp256r1 | SHA256 |
secp384r1 | SHA384 |
secp521r1 | SHA512 |
secp256k1 | SHA256 |
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data is logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data is logged. |
This setting will be populated after calling decrypt, verify_signature, or decrypt_and_verify_signature.

SMTP Config Settings
Bearer ya29.AHES6ZRmS-8xPbpGetC1VbABJIBRdKm-c4X7wMVGAbgxdGt5q8Ts3Q
Note: When using amXOAUTH2, user must be specified, but password is not required.
If allow_extensions is True the EHLO command will be sent instead of the HELO command.
It is generally a good idea to use a MaxHeaderLength of less than 100 bytes, although different mail relays and mail servers have different requirements for header lengths.
As an example:
smtp1.Send();
string rawMsg = smtp1.Config("MessageHeadersString") + smtp1.Config("TransferText");
Possible values are:
- "MD5"
- "SHA1" (default)
- "SHA256"
As an example:
smtp1.Send();
string rawMsg = smtp1.Config("MessageHeadersString") + smtp1.Config("TransferText");
TCPClient Config Settings
If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.
In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.
If the class is connected, the local_host setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by local_port after the connection is established.
local_port cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
If an eol string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the on_data_in event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.
If no eol is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the on_data_in event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.
The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this config is set to false.
0 | IPv4 Only |
1 | IPv6 Only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the on_ssl_status event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this setting has no effect if ssl_provider is set to Platform.
The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 etc). OpenSSL recommends to use the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
sequences. Before, between, and after the certificates text is allowed which can be used e.g. for descriptions of the certificates. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".
By default OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.
If set to true, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
- The target host name is the same.
- The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
- The application process that calls the function is the same.
- The logon session is the same.
- The instance of the class is the same.
The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The class will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server or client certificates.
The default value is:
/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When set to 0 (default) the CRL check will not be performed by the class. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is only supported in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is only supported on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default) the class will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is only supported in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is only supported on Windows operating systems.
Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the on_ssl_status event.
Use this setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList config setting.
By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Example values when ssl_provider is set to Platform:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols) only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) [Platform Only] |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) [Platform Only] |
SSLEnabledProtocols - TLS 1.3 Notes
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled the class will use the internal TLS implementation when the ssl_provider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions which are designed to run on Windows ssl_provider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is only supported on Windows 11 / Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.
If set to 1 (Platform provider) please be aware of the following notes:
- The platform provider is only available on Windows 11 / Windows Server 2022 and up.
- SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
- If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2 the above restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.
SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:
SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the class when the ssl_provider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and ssl_provider needs to be set to platform.
This setting is only applicable when ssl_provider is set to Internal.
If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the on_ssl_server_authentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
When set, the class will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffice for debugging purposes. When writing to this file the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This setting is only applicable when ssl_provider is set to Internal.
Note: For server components (e.g. TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g.TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN not-matching server name). |
This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported the class fails with an error.
The format of this value is a comma separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:
component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal;
component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
The default value for this setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.
In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and ssl_provider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result only some groups are included by default in this setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used which is not present in this list it will incur an additional round trip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases this setting does not need to be modified. This should only be modified if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)

Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Setting this configuration setting to True tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
On Windows, this setting is set to False by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to True by default.
To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
