The PFileMailer component is used to send encrypted and/or signed plaintext-formatted emails, with any attachments, using OpenPGP.

Syntax

TipgPFileMailer

Remarks

The PFileMailer component offers an easy-to-use interface: 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.

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 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 SignAndEncrypt. 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 AddAttachment. 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.

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies a comma-separated list of destinations for blind carbon copies of the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each destination. Because no BCc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses, individual recipients never see the list of the other recipients.

The component will return an error if the MailServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc but it will fire an Error event only if the same thing happens with an email address specified in this property.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Note: You must clear the MessageRecipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

Data Type

String

Cc Property (PFileMailer Component)

This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for carbon copies (optional).

Syntax

__property String Cc = { read=FCc, write=FSetCc };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies a comma-separated list of destinations for carbon copies of the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each destination, and a Cc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses. This header is sent to every recipient of the message. If you don't want to copy this information to every recipient, then use blind carbon copies instead (see the description of the BCc).

The component will return an error if the MailServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc but it will fire an Error event only if the same thing happens with an email address specified in BCc.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Note: You must clear the MessageRecipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

Default Value

""

Remarks

The location of the keyring.

If the keyring is stored in a directory, set this property to the directory. The directory must contain the files "secring.gpg" and "pubring.gpg". A keyring may also be stored in a single file. If the keyring is a file this property should be set to the path of the file.

When This property is set the component will read the keyring and populate the Key property with the first key found in the keyring. Set KeyUserId to select a different key in the current keyring.

The KeyIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the KeyCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

KeyPassphrase Property (PFileMailer Component)

The passphrase for the key's secret key (if any).

Syntax

__property String KeyPassphrase[int KeyIndex] = { read=FKeyPassphrase, write=FSetKeyPassphrase };

The user Id of the key.

Syntax

__property String KeyUserId[int KeyIndex] = { read=FKeyUserId, write=FSetKeyUserId };

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 component 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 KeyOtherUserIds after loading the key.

The UserId format is:

FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>

Note that for OpenPGP v6, a key may be created with or without a UserId, as the field is optional. If a key was created without a UserId, the key's Fingerprint can be used as it's identifier instead.

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 component 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 component's RecipientInfo event.

The KeyIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the KeyCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

LocalHost Property (PFileMailer Component)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

__property String LocalHost = { read=FLocalHost, write=FSetLocalHost };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This 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 multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the component is connected, the LocalHost 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 multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Data Type

String

MailPort Property (PFileMailer Component)

This property includes the server port for SMTP (default 25).

Syntax

__property int MailPort = { read=FMailPort, write=FSetMailPort };

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 an implicit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), use port 465 (please refer to the SSLStartMode property for more information).

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

MailServer Property (PFileMailer Component)

This property includes the name or address of a mail server (mail relay).

Syntax

__property String MailServer = { read=FMailServer, write=FSetMailServer };

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 component 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 (e.g., a UNIX host), but it is preferable to select a MailServer that is close to the machine sending mail.

If this property is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. 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 component 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.

Data Type

String

MessageDate Property (PFileMailer Component)

This property includes the date of the mail message (optional).

Syntax

__property String MessageDate = { read=FMessageDate, write=FSetMessageDate };

Default Value

"*"

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty 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 MessageHeaders is computed and the message is sent. This is the default behavior of the component

RFC 822 contains detailed date format specifications. An example of a valid date is "Fri, 1 Mar 96 21:24:52 EST".

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

MessageId Property (PFileMailer Component)

This property includes the message identifier for the message.

Syntax

__property String MessageId = { read=FMessageId, write=FSetMessageId };

Default Value

"*"

Remarks

This property contains the message identifier for the message. When set, the value of MessageId 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.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

""

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 component 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.

Data Type

String

OtherHeaders Property (PFileMailer Component)

This property includes an RFC 822-compliant string consisting of extra headers.

Syntax

__property String OtherHeaders = { read=FOtherHeaders, write=FSetOtherHeaders };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a string of headers to be appended to the message headers created from other properties like SendTo, Subject, and so on.

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 component. 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. Sending an Email with an Additional Header:

component.MailServer = "MyServer"; component.From = "me@server.com"; component.SendTo = "recipient@server.com"; component.Subject = "My Subject"; component.MessageText = "This is the message body."; component.OtherHeaders = "HeaderName: HeaderValue"; component.Send();

__property String RecipientKeyKeyring[int RecipientKeyIndex] = { read=FRecipientKeyKeyring, write=FSetRecipientKeyKeyring };

Default Value

""

Remarks

The location of the keyring.

If the keyring is stored in a directory, set this property to the directory. The directory must contain the files "secring.gpg" and "pubring.gpg". A keyring may also be stored in a single file. If the keyring is a file this property should be set to the path of the file.

When This property is set the component will read the keyring and populate the Key property with the first key found in the keyring. Set KeyUserId to select a different key in the current keyring.

The RecipientKeyIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the RecipientKeyCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

RecipientKeyUserId Property (PFileMailer Component)

The user Id of the key.

Syntax

__property String RecipientKeyUserId[int RecipientKeyIndex] = { read=FRecipientKeyUserId, write=FSetRecipientKeyUserId };

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 component 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 KeyOtherUserIds after loading the key.

The UserId format is:

FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>

Note that for OpenPGP v6, a key may be created with or without a UserId, as the field is optional. If a key was created without a UserId, the key's Fingerprint can be used as it's identifier instead.

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 component 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 component's RecipientInfo event.

The RecipientKeyIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the RecipientKeyCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty string, a Reply-To SMTP header is created for the message. This header shows the address to use for replies, which is 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.

Data Type

String

SendTo Property (PFileMailer Component)

This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for destinations (required).

Examples of valid addresses are as follows: "Friendly Name" <address@company.com> or address@company.com

The component will fail if the MailServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc but it will silently ignore the error if the same thing happens with an email address specified in BCc.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Note: You must clear the MessageRecipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

Data Type

SSLCertStore is used in conjunction with the SSLCertSubject property to specify client certificates. If SSLCertStore has a value, and SSLCertSubject or SSLCertEncoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the SSLCertSubject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

When the certificate store type is cstPFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is cstPFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

ProcessQueue Method (PFileMailer Component)

This method sends the messages that previously have been queued into QueueDir .

Syntax

void __fastcall ProcessQueue(String QueueDir);

Remarks

This method sends the messages that previously have been queued into QueueDir. The PITrail event shows the interaction with the server as messages are processed.

This method looks in the directory for files with the 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 (PFileMailer Component)

This method queues the message into QueueDir .

Syntax

String __fastcall Queue(String QueueDir);

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.

This method returns the name of the unique queue file created in QueueDir. The file extension is ".queued".

Please refer to the ProcessQueue method for more information on email queue processing.

ResetHeaders Method (PFileMailer Component)

This method resets all the message headers to empty.

Syntax

void __fastcall ResetHeaders();

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 (PFileMailer Component)

This sends the current message and the MIME-encoded attachment.

Syntax

void __fastcall Send();

Remarks

This method sends the current message and the MIME-encoded attachment. If the component 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 component 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.

SendCommand Method (PFileMailer Component)

This method sends the exact command directly to the server.

Syntax

void __fastcall SendCommand(String Command);

Remarks

This method sends the command specified by Command to the server exactly as it is provided. Use this method to send additional or custom commands directly to the server.

After calling this method, check the LastReply property or monitor the PITrail event to obtain the server's response.

Sign Method (PFileMailer Component)

Signs the message.

Syntax

void __fastcall Sign();

Remarks

This method signs the specified message.

The message is signed with the private key specified in Keys.

When signing, the following properties may be used to further configure the component:

• ClearSignature
• SigningAlgorithm

SignAndEncrypt Method (PFileMailer Component)

Signs and encrypts the current message.

Syntax

void __fastcall SignAndEncrypt();

Remarks

This method signs and encrypts the specified message.

The message is encrypted with the public keys specified in RecipientKeys and signed with the private key specified in Keys.

When encrypting, the following properties may be used to further configure the component:

• CompressionMethod
• EncryptingAlgorithm

When signing, the following properties may be used to further configure the component:

• ClearSignature
• SigningAlgorithm

ConnectionStatus Event (PFileMailer Component)

Fired to indicate changes in the connection state.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String ConnectionEvent;
  int StatusCode;
  String Description;
} TipgPFileMailerConnectionStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerConnectionStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerConnectionStatusEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerConnectionStatusEvent OnConnectionStatus = { read=FOnConnectionStatus, write=FOnConnectionStatus };

Remarks

This 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:

EndTransfer Event (PFileMailer Component)

This event is fired when the message text completes transferring.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
} TipgPFileMailerEndTransferEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerEndTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerEndTransferEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerEndTransferEvent OnEndTransfer = { read=FOnEndTransfer, write=FOnEndTransfer };

Remarks

If MessageText is not empty, the EndTransfer event is fired when the MessageText finishes transferring from the local host to the MailServer. If MessageText is empty, the event is not fired.

If a file is attached to the MessageText via the AttachedFile property, then EndTransfer fires again when the file finishes transferring. For more information, go to the description of the AttachedFile property.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Error Event (PFileMailer Component)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TipgPFileMailerErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerErrorEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.

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.

KeyPassphrase Event (PFileMailer Component)

Fired if the passphrase of current key is incorrect or empty.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String UserId;
  String KeyId;
  String Fingerprint;
  String Passphrase;
} TipgPFileMailerKeyPassphraseEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerKeyPassphraseEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerKeyPassphraseEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerKeyPassphraseEvent OnKeyPassphrase = { read=FOnKeyPassphrase, write=FOnKeyPassphrase };

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 KeyPassphrase property before attempting the operation.

The passphrase is required when using the following methods in KeyMgr:

• AddUserId
• SignUserId
• ChangeExpirationDate
• ChangePassphrase

When using the OpenPGP component, or an email-based component, the following methods require a passphrase for the key:

• Decrypt
• Sign
• SignAndEncrypt

UserId holds the user Id of the key the passphrase is required for.

The UserId format is:

FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>

Note that for OpenPGP v6, a key may be created with or without a UserId, as the field is optional. If a key was created without a UserId, the key's Fingerprint can be used as it's identifier instead.

KeyId is the hex-encoded, 4-byte or 8-byte Id of the key the passphrase is required for. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:

5E70662EA810E768

Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key the passphrase is required for. This is in the form:

5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1

PITrail Event (PFileMailer Component)

This event traces the commands sent to the mail server, and the respective replies.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
  String Message;
} TipgPFileMailerPITrailEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerPITrailEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerPITrailEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerPITrailEvent OnPITrail = { read=FOnPITrail, write=FOnPITrail };

Remarks

The PITrail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all of 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:

Progress Event (PFileMailer Component)

Fired as progress is made.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 BytesProcessed;
  int PercentProcessed;
} TipgPFileMailerProgressEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerProgressEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerProgressEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerProgressEvent OnProgress = { read=FOnProgress, write=FOnProgress };

Remarks

This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the component.

The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.

The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (PFileMailer Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String CertEncoded;
  DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB;
  String CertSubject;
  String CertIssuer;
  String Status;
  bool Accept;
} TipgPFileMailerSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };

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.

SSLStatus Event (PFileMailer Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TipgPFileMailerSSLStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerSSLStatusEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (PFileMailer Component)

This event is fired when the message text starts transferring.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
} TipgPFileMailerStartTransferEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerStartTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerStartTransferEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerStartTransferEvent OnStartTransfer = { read=FOnStartTransfer, write=FOnStartTransfer };

Remarks

If MessageText is not empty, the StartTransfer event is fired when the MessageText starts transferring from the local host to the MailServer. If MessageText is empty, the event is not fired.

If a file is attached to the MessageText via the AttachedFile property, then StartTransfer fires again when the file starts transferring. Please go to the description of the AttachedFile property for more information.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Status Event (PFileMailer Component)

Shows the progress of the operation.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TipgPFileMailerStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerStatusEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerStatusEvent OnStatus = { read=FOnStatus, write=FOnStatus };

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.

Transfer Event (PFileMailer Component)

This event is fired when the message text is transferred to MailServer .

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
  __int64 BytesTransferred;
  int PercentDone;
  String Text;
  DynamicArray<Byte> TextB;
} TipgPFileMailerTransferEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPFileMailerTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPFileMailerTransferEventParams *e);
__property TipgPFileMailerTransferEvent OnTransfer = { read=FOnTransfer, write=FOnTransfer };

Remarks

One or more Transfer events are fired during message delivery. Messages consist of MessageText and an optional AttachedFile. The BytesTransferred parameter shows the number of bytes sent starting from the beginning of MessageText or AttachedFile.

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.
