Remarks

The SPOP Class is the S/MIME-enabled equivalent of the IPWorks POP Class. In addition to standard POP functions, the SPOP class can decrypt and verify message signatures. The methods and properties for decrypting and verifying signatures are identical to those provided with the S/MIME Class. When attempting to verify a signed message or when decrypting a message call, the Decrypt, VerifySignature, or DecryptAndVerifySignature methods and the resulting text will be replaced in Message.

The SPOP Class implements a standard internet post office (POP3) client as specified in RFC 1725.

To connect to a MailServer, first set the appropriate User and Password and then connect by calling the Connect method. Upon successful connection to the MailServer, the number of waiting messages is shown by the MessageCount property. A message is selected by setting the MessageNumber property to a number between 1 and MessageCount (inclusive). Then, the message text and headers are received by calling the Retrieve method.

The message text is received through the Transfer event, whereas the message headers are received through the Header event. Additionally, up to MaxLines from the message body are provided in the MessageText property. The body of the message is also saved in the file specified by the LocalFile property. StartTransfer and EndTransfer events are fired at the beginning and end of message transmission. The PITrail event provides a trace of the interaction between the client and server (excluding message transfers).

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) 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 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 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.

Default Value

110

Remarks

This property contains the server port for POP (default 110). 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.

Default Value

''

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or the domain name of the mail server. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is in progress.

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, the class fails with an error.

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.

public function firePITrail($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworkssmime_spop_register_callback($res, 6, array($this, 'firePITrail'));

Parameter List

 'direction'
 'message'

Remarks

The PITrail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all of the interaction between the client and the server, line by line, except for message header and body transfers.

The Message parameter contains the full text of the message. The Direction parameter shows the originator of the message:

SSLServerAuthentication Event (IPWorksSMIME_SPOP Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLServerAuthentication($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworkssmime_spop_register_callback($res, 7, array($this, 'fireSSLServerAuthentication'));

Parameter List

 'certencoded'
 'certsubject'
 'certissuer'
 'status'
 'accept'

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 (IPWorksSMIME_SPOP Class)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLStatus($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworkssmime_spop_register_callback($res, 8, array($this, 'fireSSLStatus'));

Parameter List

 'message'

Remarks

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

StartTransfer Event (IPWorksSMIME_SPOP Class)

This event is fired when the message starts transferring.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireStartTransfer($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworkssmime_spop_register_callback($res, 9, array($this, 'fireStartTransfer'));

Parameter List

 'direction'

Remarks

The StartTransfer event is fired when the message body starts transferring from the server to the local host.

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

Transfer Event (IPWorksSMIME_SPOP Class)

This event is fired when the message is transferred from MailServer .

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireTransfer($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworkssmime_spop_register_callback($res, 10, array($this, 'fireTransfer'));

Parameter List

 'direction'
 'bytestransferred'
 'percentdone'
 'text'
 'eol'

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the message data to be retrieved.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the message, including header bytes. At the end of transmission (i.e., when the last Transfer event is fired), BytesTransferred equals the value of the QueryMessageSize method.

The Transfer event is fired for every line of the message. For complete lines, there is no terminating newline at the end of the Text parameter, and EOL is True. The EOL parameter is False when a line is broken (usually for being too long).

A faster way to retrieve a message is to assign a value to the LocalFile property and use the Transfer event to check the progress rather than to get the actual data.

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.

Note: For the PercentDone parameter value to be correct, the GetMessageSize configuration setting must be set to True.
