MX Module

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The MX module enables querying of mail exchange (MX) records from a Domain Name Server (DNS). Thus, it will find out the names of the mail servers accepting email for a given email address or domain.

Syntax

IPWorks.Mx

Remarks

The class will attempt to automatically determine the name of a DNS server from the system settings or from the value of the DNSServer property.

The class operates in synchronous or asynchronous mode, depending on the value of the Timeout property. Calling the Resolve method makes the class query the DNSServer. The Response event is fired for each server that handles mail for the email address. The class will fill out the MailServer property with the most preferred mail server and will set the Status property to "OK" or to an error message upon completion.

The RequestId property may be used to identify requests and is used in the Response event. The user may set its value before sending out requests and then match the responses to the request using the RequestId parameter in the Response event.

DNSPort Property (MX Module)

This property includes the port where the DNS server is listening.

Syntax

public var dnsPort: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=DNSPort,setter=setDNSPort:) int DNSPort;

- (int)DNSPort;
- (void)setDNSPort :(int)newDNSPort;

Default Value

53

Remarks

This property contains the port where the DNS server is listening. The default value is 53, but you may set this property to any other value for use with experimental servers and such.

DNSServer Property (MX Module)

This is the address of the DNS server.

Syntax

public var dnsServer: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=DNSServer,setter=setDNSServer:) NSString* DNSServer;

- (NSString*)DNSServer;
- (void)setDNSServer :(NSString*)newDNSServer;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the address of the DNS server. The class attempts to find the default DNS server for the machine where it is installed, and provide it in the DNSServer property. You may change it to any particular DNS server you want to query. While any internet host running a DNS service will suffice, it is preferable to use either the DNS server for your network or the DNS server for the domain that you are querying.

If the class cannot determine the default DNS server address, the property value will be an empty string.

Note: Automatic discovery of the default DNS server is not supported in the Java edition.

Idle Property (MX Module)

The current status of the module.

Syntax

public var idle: Bool {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=idle) BOOL idle;

- (BOOL)idle;

Default Value

True

Remarks

Idle will be False if the component is currently busy (communicating and/or waiting for an answer), and True at all other times.

This property is read-only.

LocalHost Property (MX Module)

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

Syntax

public var localHost: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=localHost,setter=setLocalHost:) NSString* localHost;

- (NSString*)localHost;
- (void)setLocalHost :(NSString*)newLocalHost;

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.

MailServer Property (MX Module)

This property includes the mail server with the lowest precedence value (lowest cost to reach).

Syntax

public var mailServer: String {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=mailServer) NSString* mailServer;

- (NSString*)mailServer;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the mail server with lowest precedence value (lowest cost to reach). After all events are fired, this property holds the name of the best mail server for the supplied email address, and the Status property holds the completion status.

This property is read-only.

RequestId Property (MX Module)

This property identifies each request.

Syntax

public var requestId: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=requestId,setter=setRequestId:) int requestId;

- (int)requestId;
- (void)setRequestId :(int)newRequestId;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property identifies each request. This may be useful if several email addresses need to be resolved. Each request may be identified by the user before starting a query by calling the Resolve method.

If a custom value is needed for RequestId, the property must be set before resolving an email address. The class increments RequestId automatically after sending each request.

Status Property (MX Module)

The status of the request is empty while in progress. This property is set to OK or to an error message upon completion.

Syntax

public var status: String {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=status) NSString* status;

- (NSString*)status;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is reset each time the Resolve method is called. When a response comes from the DNSServer, this property is set to "OK" in case of success or to an error message as described in the Response event.

This property is read-only.

Timeout Property (MX Module)

A timeout for the module.

Syntax

public var timeout: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout :(int)newTimeout;

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with a WOULDBLOCK error if data cannot be sent immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, data is sent in a blocking manner and the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. The class will handle any potential WOULDBLOCK errors internally and automatically retry the operation for a maximum of Timeout seconds.

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 .

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.

Config Method (MX Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)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.

DoEvents Method (MX Module)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

public func doEvents() throws -> Void
- (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.

Interrupt Method (MX Module)

Interrupt the current method.

Syntax

public func interrupt() throws -> Void
- (void)interrupt;

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

Reset Method (MX Module)

Reset the component.

Syntax

public func reset() throws -> Void
- (void)reset;

Remarks

This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.

Resolve Method (MX Module)

This method resolves an email address.

Syntax

public func resolve(emailAddress: String) throws -> Void
- (void)resolve:(NSString*)emailAddress;

Remarks

This method resolves an email address. Calling this method directs the class to query DNSServer at port DNSPort about MX records related to EmailAddress.

The server's response is provided through one or more Response events.

After the query completes, the MailServer property is set to the best mail server and the Status property includes the result description of the response.

Valid queries are email addresses like name@company.com or hostnames and domains like domain.com.

Example. Determine Top Priority Mail Server of Email Address:

MXControl.Resolve "email@server.com" While MXControl.MailServer = "" MXControl.DoEvents() End While BestMailServer = MXControl.MailServer

Error Event (MX Module)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)
- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class .

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.

Response Event (MX Module)

This event is fired for each MailServer accepting email for the domain.

Syntax

func onResponse(requestId: Int32, domain: String, mailServer: String, precedence: Int32, timeToLive: Int32, statusCode: Int32, description: String, authoritative: Bool)
- (void)onResponse:(int)requestId :(NSString*)domain :(NSString*)mailServer :(int)precedence :(int)timeToLive :(int)statusCode :(NSString*)description :(BOOL)authoritative;

Remarks

A Response event is fired for each mail server handling email for the requested domain. The RequestId parameter identifies the request and equals the value of RequestId property right before the Resolve method is called. MailServer is the name of the server handling the email for the requested Domain. A lower Precedence value should be preferred. The TimeToLive parameter gives the validity time in seconds before the DNSServer should be queried again.

Possible values for the StatusCode and Description parameters are as follows:

StatusCodeDescription
0Ok
1Format error
2Server failure
3Name error
4Not implemented
5Refused

After the last Response event is fired, the class sets the MailServer and Status properties to the best MailServer and the error or success code, respectively.

Config Settings (MX Module)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

UDP Config Settings

CaptureIPPacketInfo:   Used to capture the packet information.

If this is set to true, the component will capture the IP packet information.

The default value for this setting is False.

Note: This setting is only available in Windows.

DelayHostResolution:   Whether the hostname is resolved when RemoteHost is set.

This setting specifies whether a hostname is resolved immediately when RemoteHost is set. If the class will resolve the hostname and the IP address will be present in the RemoteHost property. If , the hostname is not resolved until needed by the component when a method to connect or send data is called. If desired, ResolveRemoteHost may called to manually resolve the value in RemoteHost at any time.

The default value is .

DestinationAddress:   Used to get the destination address from the packet information.

If CaptureIPPacketInfo is set to true, then this will be populated with the packet's destination address when a packet is received. This information will be accessible in the DataIn event.

Note: This setting is only available in Windows.

DontFragment:   Used to set the Don't Fragment flag of outgoing packets.

When set to True, packets sent by the class will have the Don't Fragment flag set. The default value is False.

LocalHost:   The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost setting 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 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).

LocalPort:   The port in the local host where the class binds.

This must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

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.

MaxPacketSize:   The maximum length of the packets that can be received.

This setting specifies the maximum size of the datagrams that the class will accept without truncation.

QOSDSCPValue:   Used to specify an arbitrary QOS/DSCP setting (optional).

UseConnection must be True to use this setting. This option allows you to specify an arbitrary DSCP value between 0 and 63. The default is 0. When set to the default value the component will not set a DSCP value.

Note: This setting uses the qWAVE API is only available on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later.

QOSTrafficType:   Used to specify QOS/DSCP settings (optional).

UseConnection must be True to use this setting. You may specify either the text or integer values: BestEffort (0), Background (1), ExcellentEffort (2), AudioVideo (3), Voice (4), and Control (5).

Note: This setting uses the qWAVE API which is only available on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 or above.

Note: QOSTrafficType must be set before setting Active to true.

ShareLocalPort:   If set to True, allows more than one instance of the class to be active on the same local port.

This option must be set before the class is activated through the Active property or it will have no effect.

The default value for this setting is False.

UseConnection:   Determines whether to use a connected socket.

UseConnection specifies whether the class should use a connected socket or not. The connection is defined as an association in between the local address/port and the remote address/port. As such, this is not a connection in the traditional TCP sense. What it means is only that the class will send and receive data only to and from the specified destination.

The default value for this setting is False.

UseIPv6:   Whether or not to use IPv6.

By default, the component expects an IPv4 address for local and remote host properties, and will create an IPv4 socket. To use IPv6 instead, set this to True.

Socket Config Settings

AbsoluteTimeout:   Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.

FirewallData:   Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g. headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

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.

OutBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

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

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).
