SFileMailer Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The SFileMailer Class is used to send emails with file attachments.
Syntax
ipworkssmime.Sfilemailer
Remarks
The SFileMailer Class is the S/MIME-enabled equivalent of the IPWorks FileMailer class. In addition to standard SMTP functions, the SFileMailer class can sign and/or encrypt messages with attachments in a Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) envelope. The methods and properties for encrypting and signing are identical to those provided with the S/MIME class. After setting the certificate properties, specifying MessageText, and attaching all files, call the Encrypt, Sign or SignAndEncrypt method before sending and the result will be stored in MessageText.
The FileMailer Class supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections (RFC 2487). When connecting over SSL/TLS the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL related settings are also supported via the Config method.
The class sends a message (provided in MessageText) and one or more file attachments specified in the Attachments collection.
The recipients are specified by the SendTo, Cc, and BCc properties, and the message subject is specified by the Subject property.
After all of the appropriate properties have been set, call the Send method and your message will be sent to its intended recipients.
Other SMTP headers may be specified through the OtherHeaders property. Information about interaction with the server is provided through the PITrail event.

Default Value
0
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.

This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for blind carbon copies (optional).
Syntax
public String getBCc(); public void setBCc(String 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 class 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 collection before setting this property to remove previous recipients.
Cc Property (SFileMailer Class)
This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for carbon copies (optional).
Syntax
public String getCc(); public void setCc(String 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 class 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 collection before setting this property to remove previous recipients.
Certificate Property (SFileMailer Class)
This property includes the current selected certificate.
Syntax
public Certificate getCertificate(); public void setCertificate(Certificate certificate);

Note: To include the chain, the IncludeCertificate property must also be set to true.
LastReply Property (SFileMailer Class)
The last reply from the server.
Syntax
public String getLastReply();
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property indicates the last reply received from the server. It can be used for informational purposes. The same information and more can also be retrieved through the PITrail event.
This property is read-only.
LocalHost Property (SFileMailer Class)
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
public String getLocalHost(); public void setLocalHost(String 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 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 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 multi-homed 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 (SFileMailer Class)
The server port for SMTP (default 25).
Syntax
public int getMailPort(); public void setMailPort(int 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 implicit SSL, use port 465 (please refer to the SSLStartMode property for more information).
This property is not available at design time.
MailServer Property (SFileMailer Class)
The name or address of a mail server (mail relay).
Syntax
public String getMailServer(); public void setMailServer(String 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 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 MailServer 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.
MessageDate Property (SFileMailer Class)
Date of the mail message (optional).
Syntax
public String getMessageDate(); public void setMessageDate(String messageDate);
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 MessageHeaders 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".
This property is not available at design time.
MessageId Property (SFileMailer Class)
The Message Identifier for the message.
Syntax
public String getMessageId(); public void setMessageId(String 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 (SFileMailer Class)
The collection of recipients of the message.
Syntax
public MessageRecipientList getMessageRecipients(); public void setMessageRecipients(MessageRecipientList messageRecipients);
Remarks
This property contains a collection which 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.
This collection is indexed from 0 to size -1.
Please refer to the MessageRecipient type for a complete list of fields.MessageText Property (SFileMailer Class)
This is the full text of the message to send (without headers).
Syntax
public String getMessageText(); public void setMessageText(String 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 ("\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.
OtherHeaders Property (SFileMailer Class)
An RFC 822 compliant string consisting of extra headers.
Syntax
public String getOtherHeaders(); public void setOtherHeaders(String 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, 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";
component.MessageText = "This is the message body.";
component.OtherHeaders = "HeaderName: HeaderValue";
component.Send();
This property is not available at design time.
Password Property (SFileMailer Class)
A password for logon to the MailServer .
Syntax
public String getPassword(); public void setPassword(String password);
Default Value
""
Remarks

ReplyTo Property (SFileMailer Class)
A mail address to which to reply (optional).
Syntax
public String getReplyTo(); public void setReplyTo(String replyTo);
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.
SendTo Property (SFileMailer Class)
A comma separated list of addresses for destinations (required).
Syntax
public String getSendTo(); public void setSendTo(String sendTo);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property specifies a comma separated list of destinations for the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each of them, and a To SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses.
Examples of valid addresses are: "Friendly Name" <address@company.com> or address@company.com
The class 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 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 collection before setting this property to remove previous recipients.
Sensitivity Property (SFileMailer Class)

If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the class 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.
Please note that this functionality is provided only for cases where 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 (SFileMailer Class)
The certificate to be used during SSL negotiation.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLCert(); public void setSSLCert(Certificate SSLCert);
Remarks
The digital certificate that the class 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 (SFileMailer Class)
Whether TLS/SSL is enabled.
Syntax
public boolean isSSLEnabled(); public void setSSLEnabled(boolean SSLEnabled);
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 SSLStartMode. Setting SSLStartMode will automatically update this property value.
This property is not available at design time.
SSLProvider Property (SFileMailer Class)
This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.
Syntax
public int getSSLProvider(); public void setSSLProvider(int SSLProvider); Enumerated values: public final static int sslpAutomatic = 0; public final static int sslpPlatform = 1; public final static int sslpInternal = 2;
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 the platform implementation is used by default. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used.
SSLServerCert Property (SFileMailer Class)
The server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLServerCert();
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 (SFileMailer Class)
Determines how the class starts the SSL negotiation.
Syntax
public int getSSLStartMode(); public void setSSLStartMode(int SSLStartMode); Enumerated values: public final static int sslAutomatic = 0; public final static int sslImplicit = 1; public final static int sslExplicit = 2; public final static int sslNone = 3;
Default Value
3
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 class 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 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 (SFileMailer Class)
The subject of the mail message (optional).
Syntax
public String getSubject(); public void setSubject(String 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 (SFileMailer Class)
A timeout for the class.
Syntax
public int getTimeout(); public void setTimeout(int 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 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 class throws an exception.
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 (SFileMailer Class)
A user identifier to login as in the MailServer .
Syntax
public String getUser(); public void setUser(String user);
Default Value
""
Remarks
If this property is set to a non-empty string, then when connecting to the MailServer an AUTH or CRAM-MD5 (depending on the value of AuthMechanism) command is sent in order to provide authentication information for the user.
This property is not available at design time.
AddAttachment Method (Sfilemailer Class)
This adds FileName as an attachment.
Syntax
public void addAttachment(String fileName);
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 2: Using an Attachments Collection
component.Attachments.Add(new nsoftware.IPWorks.FileAttachment("name", "C:\file.txt"));
AddRecipientCert Method (Sfilemailer Class)
This method is used to add recipient certificates used to encrypt messages.
Syntax
public void addRecipientCert(byte[] certEncoded);
Remarks
This method is used to add recipient certificates to the internal MessageRecipients collection used to encrypt the Message. The recipient certificate must be a valid PKCS-encoded certificate. If the certificate provided is Base64 encoded, it will be decoded first by the object.
The CertMgr class may be used to retrieve the appropriate certificate from the system.
This method is used to add recipient certificates to the internal MessageRecipients collection used to encrypt the Message. The recipient certificate must be a valid PKCS-encoded certificate. If the certificate provided is Base64 encoded, it will be decoded first by the object.
The CertMgr class may be used to retrieve the appropriate certificate from the system.
Config Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
public String config(String configurationString);
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 (Sfilemailer Class)
This method connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command.
Syntax
public void 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()
Disconnect Method (Sfilemailer Class)
This method disconnects from the SMTP server.
Syntax
public void disconnect();
Remarks
This method disconnects from the mail relay.
DoEvents Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
public void doEvents();
Remarks
When DoEvents 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 (Sfilemailer Class)
This method encrypts the message.
Syntax
public void encrypt();
Remarks
This method encrypts the input message in a Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS)-encoded envelope with all of the recipient certificates specified in the MessageRecipients collection.
Note: The message headers, including the Sender, Recipient(s), and Subject, are not encrypted. If this is sensitive information, consider including these headers in the message body as a MIME entity, and providing other headers for the S/MIME wrapper.
Interrupt Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Interrupt the current method.
Syntax
public void interrupt();
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
ProcessQueue Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Sends the messages which have previously been queued into QueueDir .
Syntax
public void processQueue(String queueDir);
Remarks
This method sends the messages which have previously been queued into QueueDir. The PITrail 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 (Sfilemailer Class)
Queues the message into QueueDir .
Syntax
public String 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.
The 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.
Reset Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Reset the class.
Syntax
public void reset();
Remarks
This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.
ResetHeaders Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Resets all the message headers to empty.
Syntax
public void 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 (Sfilemailer Class)
This sends the current message and the MIME-encoded attachment.
Syntax
public void send();
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.
SendCommand Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Sends the exact command directly to the server.
Syntax
public void 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 and/or monitor the PITrail event to obtain the server's response.
SetMessageStream Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Sets the stream to be uploaded to the server as part of the message.
Syntax
public void setMessageStream(java.io.InputStream messageStream);
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 class and uploaded to the server; The stream should be open and normally set to position 0. The class 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 (Sfilemailer Class)
Signs the current message.
Syntax
public void sign();
Remarks
This method digitally signs the input data with the certificate provided. Certificates are provided by specifying the Certificate property. The IncludeCertificate property allows you to specify whether to include the certificate when signing the message.
SignAndEncrypt Method (Sfilemailer Class)
Signs and encrypts the current message.
Syntax
public void signAndEncrypt();
Remarks
This method both signs and encrypts the input message into a single PKCS encoded envelope.
Please note that the message headers, including the Sender, Recipient(s), and Subject, are not encrypted. If this is sensitive information, consider including these headers in the message body as a MIME entity, and providing other headers for the S/MIME wrapper.
ConnectionStatus Event (Sfilemailer Class)
This event is fired to indicate changes in the connection state.
Syntax
public class DefaultSfilemailerEventListener implements SfilemailerEventListener { ... public void connectionStatus(SfilemailerConnectionStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class SfilemailerConnectionStatusEvent { public String connectionEvent; public int statusCode; public String description; }
Remarks
The ConnectionStatus 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. |
EndTransfer Event (Sfilemailer Class)
This event is fired when the message text completes transferring.
Syntax
public class DefaultSfilemailerEventListener implements SfilemailerEventListener { ... public void endTransfer(SfilemailerEndTransferEvent e) {} ... } public class SfilemailerEndTransferEvent { public int direction; }
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 (Sfilemailer Class)
Information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
public class DefaultSfilemailerEventListener implements SfilemailerEventListener { ... public void error(SfilemailerErrorEvent e) {} ... } public class SfilemailerErrorEvent { public int errorCode; public String description; }
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class throws 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.
PITrail Event (Sfilemailer Class)
Traces the commands sent to the mail server, and the respective replies.
Syntax
public class DefaultSfilemailerEventListener implements SfilemailerEventListener { ... public void PITrail(SfilemailerPITrailEvent e) {} ... } public class SfilemailerPITrailEvent { public int direction; public String message; }
Remarks
The PITrail 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). |
SSLServerAuthentication Event (Sfilemailer Class)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax

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 (Sfilemailer Class)
Shows the progress of the secure connection.
Syntax
public class DefaultSfilemailerEventListener implements SfilemailerEventListener { ... public void SSLStatus(SfilemailerSSLStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class SfilemailerSSLStatusEvent { public String message; }
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
StartTransfer Event (Sfilemailer Class)
Fired when the message text starts transferring.
Syntax
public class DefaultSfilemailerEventListener implements SfilemailerEventListener { ... public void startTransfer(SfilemailerStartTransferEvent e) {} ... } public class SfilemailerStartTransferEvent { public int direction; }
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.
Transfer Event (Sfilemailer Class)
Fired while the message text gets transferred to MailServer .
Syntax
public class DefaultSfilemailerEventListener implements SfilemailerEventListener { ... public void transfer(SfilemailerTransferEvent e) {} ... } public class SfilemailerTransferEvent { public int direction; public long bytesTransferred; public int percentDone; public byte[] text; }
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 and/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.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.
The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:
Field | Meaning |
CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
O | Organization |
OU | Organizational Unit |
L | Locality |
S | State |
C | Country |
E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

SMTP Config Settings
Bearer ya29.AHES6ZRmS-8xPbpGetC1VbABJIBRdKm-c4X7wMVGAbgxdGt5q8Ts3Q
Note: When using amXOAUTH2, User must be specified, but Password is not required.
Note that this is True by default.
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.
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.
If this entry is set, the class acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost, and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.
RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.
The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
0 | No firewall (default setting). |
1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80. |
2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
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 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 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 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; 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 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 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 SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.
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.

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 SSLStatus 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.
Note: This value must be set after SSLProvider is set.
Example values:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA");

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 SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions which 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 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 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 setting is only applicable 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.
Note: When SSLProvider is set to Internal this value is automatically set to true. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.
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 SSLProvider 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:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g. TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g. TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g. TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g. TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedVersion[connId]");
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 throws 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 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 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 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)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"
- "ffdhe_2048" (default)
- "ffdhe_3072" (default)
- "ffdhe_4096"
- "ffdhe_6144"
- "ffdhe_8192"
- "ed25519" (default)
- "ed448" (default)
- "ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256" (default)
- "ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
- "ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)

Socket Config Settings
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.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Base Config Settings
In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the class does not attempt to process external events.
- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
This setting is set to false by default on all platforms.
