PFileMailer Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
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.

TipgTAuthMechanisms = ( amUserPassword, amCRAMMD5, amNTLM, amAPOP, amSASLPlain, amSASLDigestMD5, amKerberos, amXOAUTH2 );
Default Value
amUserPassword
Remarks
This is the authentication mechanism property to be used when connecting to the mail server.
By default, this property is amUserPassword (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the AUTH command is sent to the server for authentication. If this property is set to amCRAMMD5 (1), CRAM-MD5 authentication is used instead.
If this property is set to amNTLM (2), NTLM authentication will be used.
If this property is set to amKerberos (6), Kerberos authentication will be used.
Note: This functionality is available only in Windows.
When set to amXOAUTH2 (7), set User to the username and AuthorizationIdentity to the OAuth token. See AuthorizationIdentity for details.
BCc Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for blind carbon copies (optional).
Syntax
property BCc: String read get_BCc write set_BCc;
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.
Cc Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for carbon copies (optional).
Syntax
property Cc: String read get_Cc write set_Cc;
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.
CompressionMethod Property (PFileMailer Component)
The compression algorithm used.

- AES128-GCM (AEAD)
Note that if UseArgon2 is enabled, and SymmetricPassphrase is specified, an AEAD encryption algorithm (AES*-OCB and AES*-GCM) must be specified for symmetric encryption. If UseArgon2 is disabled, and an AEAD encryption algorithm is specified, the AEAD mode (OCB or GCM) will be ignored when performing symmetric encryption.
An AEAD encryption algorithm may optionally be utilized when encrypting messages (when calling Encrypt). In this case, the AEADChunkSizeExp configuration will specify the chunk size for splitting plaintext for encryption. Please see AEADChunkSizeExp for additional details.
Firewall Property (PFileMailer Component)
A set of properties related to firewall access.
Syntax
property Firewall: TipgFirewall read get_Firewall write set_Firewall;
Remarks

Remarks
This property indicates the last reply received from the server. It can be used for informational purposes. The same information and more also can be retrieved through the PITrail event.
This property is read-only.
LocalHost Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
property LocalHost: String read get_LocalHost write set_LocalHost;
Default Value
''
Remarks
The LocalHost 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.
MailPort Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the server port for SMTP (default 25).
Syntax
property MailPort: Integer read get_MailPort write set_MailPort;
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.
MailServer Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the name or address of a mail server (mail relay).
Syntax
property MailServer: String read get_MailServer write set_MailServer;
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.
MessageDate Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the date of the mail message (optional).
Syntax
property MessageDate: String read get_MessageDate write set_MessageDate;
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.
MessageId Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the message identifier for the message.
Syntax
property MessageId: String read get_MessageId write set_MessageId;
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.
MessageRecipients Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the collection of recipients of the message.
Syntax
property MessageRecipients: TipgMessageRecipientList read get_MessageRecipients write set_MessageRecipients;
Remarks
This property contains a collection that describes to whom the message is being sent. You may include all recipients in this property, even Cc's and BCc's, which are specified by the type field.
Please refer to the MessageRecipient type for a complete list of fields.
MessageText Property (PFileMailer Component)
This is the full text of the message to send (without headers).
Syntax
property MessageText: String read get_MessageText write set_MessageText;
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 ('#13#10') . 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.
OtherHeaders Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes an RFC 822-compliant string consisting of extra headers.
Syntax
property OtherHeaders: String read get_OtherHeaders write set_OtherHeaders;
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 ('#13#10') .
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();
This property is not available at design time.
Password Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes a password for logon to the MailServer .
Syntax
property Password: String read get_Password write set_Password;
Default Value
''
Remarks
If this property is set to a nonempty string, then when connecting to the MailServer an AUTH or CRAM-MD5 (depending on the value of AuthMechanism) command is sent to provide authentication information for the user.
This property is not available at design time.
Priority Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the priority of the mail message (optional).
Syntax
property Priority: TipgTPriorities read get_Priority write set_Priority;
TipgTPriorities = ( epUnspecified, epNormal, epUrgent, epNonUrgent );

The collection of keys belonging to the recipient of the message.
Syntax
property RecipientKeys: TipgKeyList read get_RecipientKeys write set_RecipientKeys;
Remarks
This property contains the keys of the message recipient.
Set this property before calling Encrypt or SignAndEncrypt.
This property is not available at design time.
Please refer to the Key type for a complete list of fields.ReplyTo Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes a mail address to which to reply (optional).
Syntax
property ReplyTo: String read get_ReplyTo write set_ReplyTo;
Default Value
''
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.
SendTo Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for destinations (required).
Syntax
property SendTo: String read get_SendTo write set_SendTo;
Default Value

SSLAcceptServerCert Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property instructs the component to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.
Syntax
property SSLAcceptServerCert: TipgCertificate read get_SSLAcceptServerCert write set_SSLAcceptServerCert;
Remarks
If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the component will normally terminate the connection with an error.
You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.
Note: This functionality is provided only for cases in which you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLCert Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the certificate to be used during Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax
property SSLCert: TipgCertificate read get_SSLCert write set_SSLCert;
Remarks
This property includes the digital certificate that the component will use during SSL negotiation. Set this property to a valid certificate before starting SSL negotiation. To set a certificate, you may set the Encoded field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLEnabled Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property indicates whether Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) is enabled.
Syntax
property SSLEnabled: Boolean read get_SSLEnabled write set_SSLEnabled;
Default Value
false
Remarks
This property specifies whether TLS/SSL is enabled in the component. When False (default), the component operates in plaintext mode. When True, TLS/SSL is enabled.
TLS/SSL may also be enabled by setting SSLStartMode. Setting SSLStartMode will automatically update this property value.
This property is not available at design time.
SSLProvider Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property specifies the Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.
Syntax
property SSLProvider: TipgTSSLProviders read get_SSLProvider write set_SSLProvider;
TipgTSSLProviders = ( sslpAutomatic, sslpPlatform, sslpInternal );
Default Value
sslpAutomatic
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 component 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 as follows:
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 component will select a provider depending on the current platform.
When Automatic is selected, on Windows, the component will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS, the component will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the internal implementation is used on all platforms.
SSLServerCert Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
property SSLServerCert: TipgCertificate read get_SSLServerCert;
Remarks
SSLServerCert contains the server certificate for the last established connection.
SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.
This property is read-only.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLStartMode Property (PFileMailer Component)
This property determines how the component starts the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax
property SSLStartMode: TipgTSSLStartModes read get_SSLStartMode write set_SSLStartMode;
TipgTSSLStartModes = ( sslAutomatic, sslImplicit, sslExplicit, sslNone );
Default Value
sslNone
Remarks
The SSLStartMode 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 component will behave the same as if SSLStartMode 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 component will first connect in plaintext, and then will 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 (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the subject of the mail message (optional).
Syntax
property Subject: String read get_Subject write 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 (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the timeout for the component.
Syntax
property Timeout: Integer read get_Timeout write 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 component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
The component will use DoEvents 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 component raises an exception.
Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, 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 (PFileMailer Component)
This property includes the user identifier needed to log in as in the MailServer .
Syntax
property User: String read get_User write set_User;
Default Value
''
Remarks
If this property is set to a nonempty string, then when connecting to the MailServer an AUTH or CRAM-MD5 (depending on the value of AuthMechanism) command is sent to provide authentication information for the user.
This property is not available at design time.
AddAttachment Method (PFileMailer Component)
This adds FileName as an attachment.
Syntax
procedure AddAttachment(FileName: String);
Remarks
This method adds the file name as an attachment. The full list of attachments is contained in the Attachments property.
Example 1: Adding an Attachment
component.AddAttachment("C:\file1.zip");
component.AddAttachment("C:\file2.zip");
component.Send();
Example 3: Using an Attachments Array
component.AttachmentCount = 1;
component.AttachmentName(0) = "name";
component.AttachmentFile(0) = "C:\file.txt";
Config Method (PFileMailer Component)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
function Config(ConfigurationString: String): String;
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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 (PFileMailer Component)
This method connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command.
Syntax
procedure Connect();
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()

Remarks
When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
Encrypt Method (PFileMailer Component)
Encrypts the message.
Syntax
procedure Encrypt();
Remarks
This method encrypts the specified message.
The message is encrypted with the public keys specified in RecipientKeys.
When encrypting, the following properties may be used to further configure the component:
Interrupt Method (PFileMailer Component)
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
procedure Interrupt();
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
ProcessQueue Method (PFileMailer Component)
This method sends the messages that previously have been queued into QueueDir .
Syntax
procedure ProcessQueue(QueueDir: String);
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
function Queue(QueueDir: String): String;
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
procedure 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
procedure 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
procedure SendCommand(Command: String);
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.
SetMessageStream Method (PFileMailer Component)
This method sets the stream to be uploaded to the server as part of the message.
Syntax
procedure SetMessageStream(MessageStream: TStream);
Remarks
This method sets the stream to be uploaded to the server as part of the message. If an upload stream is set before the Send method is called, the content of the stream will be read by the component and uploaded to the server. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0. The component will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is set to True (default). If the stream is closed, you will need to call this method again before calling Send again. The content of the stream will be read from the current position all the way to the end.
Note: This method and LocalFile will reset the other.
Sign Method (PFileMailer Component)
Signs the message.
Syntax
procedure Sign();
Remarks
This method signs the specified message.
The message is signed with the private key specified in Keys.

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
type TErrorEvent = procedure ( Sender: TObject; ErrorCode: Integer; const Description: String ) of Object;
property OnError: TErrorEvent 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
type TKeyPassphraseEvent = procedure ( Sender: TObject; const UserId: String; const KeyId: String; const Fingerprint: String; var Passphrase: String ) of Object;
property OnKeyPassphrase: TKeyPassphraseEvent 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 Passphrase 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>Not all values are required when selecting or generating a key, but at least FirstName or Email are required.
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

property OnSSLServerAuthentication: TSSLServerAuthenticationEvent 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
type TSSLStatusEvent = procedure ( Sender: TObject; const Message: String ) of Object;
property OnSSLStatus: TSSLStatusEvent read FOnSSLStatus write FOnSSLStatus;

property OnTransfer: TTransferEvent 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.

UserId
String
Default Value: ""
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 OtherUserIds 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.
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.
Version
Integer (read-only)
Default Value: 4
This property can be used to query the OpenPGP version of the currently selected Key. Possible values are:
- 4 - OpenPGP v4 (default)

Config Settings (PFileMailer Component)
The component 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 component, 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 component 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 component 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 Curve used by the key. When this setting is enabled (default) the component 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 component 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, VerifySignature, or DecryptAndVerifySignature.

Note: When using amXOAUTH2, User must be specified, but Password is not required.
If AllowExtensions 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.
Example:
smtp1.Send();
string rawMsg = smtp1.Config("MessageHeadersString") + smtp1.Config("TransferText");
Possible values are as follows:

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 component 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 multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.
If the component is connected, the LocalHost 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 multihomed 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 LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on 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 DataIn 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 DataIn 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 configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 only |

2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider 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). OpenSSL recommends the use of 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 the following sequences:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. 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 component 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 component is the same.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the component. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it 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 supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default), the component will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it 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 supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.
Use this configuration 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 configuration setting.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

The special value "*" means that the component 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 SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following:
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 default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the component will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions that are designed to run on Windows, SSLProvider 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 supported only 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 available only 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, these 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 component when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.
This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
When set, the component 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 traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the component will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedVersion[connId]");
0x00000001 | Ignore time validity status of certificate. |
0x00000002 | Ignore time validity status of CTL. |
0x00000004 | Ignore non-nested certificate times. |
0x00000010 | Allow unknown certificate authority. |
0x00000020 | Ignore wrong certificate usage. |
0x00000100 | Ignore unknown certificate revocation status. |
0x00000200 | Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status. |

0x00004000 | Trust test root certificate. |
0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name). |
This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the component will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the component raises an exception.
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 configuration 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.
To not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this configuration 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 SSLProvider 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 configuration setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only 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)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"

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