Remarks

The SMTP Class supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections (RFC 2487). When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (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 through the Config method.

The SMTP Class implements a standard SMTP client as specified in RFC 821. It has a simple plug-and-play interface. It contains a number of properties, such as SendTo, Subject, From, Cc, and BCc, that map directly to the internet mail message headers with the same name (RFC 822). The message text is set in MessageText. Messages are sent by calling the Send method.

The class supports message delivery to multiple recipients through the SendTo, Cc, and BCc properties. Simply specify the destination email addresses separated by commas.

The interface of the class is open-ended. New features, including MIME attachments, can be supported by using the OtherHeaders property.

A number of events provide feedback during the operation of the class. The Transfer event is fired during message delivery to show the number of bytes delivered. The PITrail event traces the commands that are sent to the server and the respective replies.

public function setAllowExtensions($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_get($res, 1 );
ipworksssl_smtp_set($res, 1, $value );

Default Value

true

Remarks

This property is a switch allowing the class to use ESMTP features (Extended SMTP). If this property is True, the class will first send the EHLO greeting (Extended Hello) to the server and, if that fails, the standard HELO command will be sent.

This property is True by default but may be disabled if it is known in advance that the MailServer does not support SMTP extensions.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean

AuthMechanism Property (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

This property is used when connecting to the mail server.

public function setAuthMechanism($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_get($res, 2 );
ipworksssl_smtp_set($res, 2, $value );

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.

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.

Data Type

Integer

BCc Property (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

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

ipworksssl_smtp_set($res, 3, $value );

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 properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

Data Type

String

Cc Property (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function getCc();

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 properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

LocalHost Property (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function getLocalHost();
public function setLocalHost($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_get($res, 17 );
ipworksssl_smtp_set($res, 17, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

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

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the 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.

Data Type

String

MailPort Property (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

Default Value

25

Remarks

This property contains the server port for SMTP (default 25). A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established. Any attempt to change this property while connected will fail with an error.

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

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

MailServer Property (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function setMailServer($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_get($res, 19 );
ipworksssl_smtp_set($res, 19, $value );

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 (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 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.

Examples of valid addresses are as follows: "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 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.

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.

Example. Send an Email:

SMTPControl.MailServer = "MyServer" SMTPControl.From = "me@server.com" SMTPControl.SendTo = "recipient@server.com" SMTPControl.Subject = "My Subject" SMTPControl.MessageText = "This is the message body" SMTPControl.Send()

SendCommand Method (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

This method sends the exact command directly to the server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doSendCommand($command);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_do_sendcommand($res, $command);

Remarks

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

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

SendToTerminalAndEmail Method (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

This method sends to terminal and email.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doSendToTerminalAndEmail();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_do_sendtoterminalandemail($res);

Remarks

This method is similar to Send but requests also that the message is sent to the terminal of the users as well, if they are logged on and accept terminal messages. This method requires that AllowExtensions is set to True and is not supported by all mail relays.

SendToTerminalOnly Method (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

This method sends to terminal only.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doSendToTerminalOnly();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_do_sendtoterminalonly($res);

Remarks

This method is similar to Send but requests instead that the message is sent to the user's terminal. An error code with the server's response is returned if the user is not logged in or does not accept terminal messages. This method requires that AllowExtensions is set to True and is not supported by all mail relays.

SendToTerminalOrEmail Method (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

This method sends to terminal or email.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doSendToTerminalOrEmail();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_do_sendtoterminaloremail($res);

Remarks

This method is similar to Send but requests instead that the message is first sent to the user's terminal. If the user is not logged in or does not accept terminal messages, the message is sent to his or her mailbox. This method requires that AllowExtensions is set to True and is not supported by all mail relays.

Verify Method (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

This method sends a verification request to the SMTP server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doVerify($emailaddress);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_do_verify($res, $emailaddress);

Remarks

This method asks the MailServer to verify the email address provided in the 'EmailAddress' parameter.

ConnectionStatus Event (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

Fired to indicate changes in the connection state.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireConnectionStatus($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_register_callback($res, 1, array($this, 'fireConnectionStatus'));

Parameter List

 'connectionevent'
 'statuscode'
 'description'

Remarks

This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.

The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:

EndTransfer Event (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

This event is fired when the message text completes transferring.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireEndTransfer($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_register_callback($res, 2, array($this, 'fireEndTransfer'));

Parameter List

 '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 (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireError($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_register_callback($res, 3, array($this, 'fireError'));

Parameter List

 'errorcode'
 'description'

Remarks

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

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.

Expand Event (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

This event is fired for every email address returned by the server when the Expand method is called.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireExpand($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_register_callback($res, 4, array($this, 'fireExpand'));

Parameter List

 'address'

Remarks

This event is fired for every email address as returned by the mail server when the Expand method is called.

The Address parameter may contain a name and an email address, or just an email address, suitable for any of the addressing properties.

PITrail Event (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function firePITrail($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_register_callback($res, 5, array($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 (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLServerAuthentication($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_register_callback($res, 6, array($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 (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLStatus($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_register_callback($res, 7, array($this, 'fireSSLStatus'));

public function fireStartTransfer($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_smtp_register_callback($res, 8, array($this, 'fireStartTransfer'));

Parameter List

 '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 (IPWorksSSL_SMTP Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireTransfer($param);

 '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 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.
