public class Filemailers

extends java.lang.Object

The FileMailerS bean is used to send emails with file attachments.

The FileMailerS bean is the SSL-enabled equivalent (RFC 2487) of the IP*Works! FileMailer bean. The main difference is the introduction of a set of new configuration settings, properties and events that deal with SSL security. TheSSLProviderconfiguration setting chooses a security provider subsystem. TheSSLEnabledProtocolsandSSLCipherStrengthconfiguration settings determine which protocols are enabled and at what security level. The SSLCertStore , SSLCertSubject , and SSLCertEncoded properties are used to select a client certificate if the server is requesting client authentication. TheSSLSecurityFlagsconfiguration setting, together with the SSLServerAuthentication event allow you to check the server identity and other security attributes. Finally, the SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake.

The bean sends a message (provided in MessageText ) and a total of AttachmentCount attachments. The attachment filenames are specified in the Attachments property.

The recipients are specified by the SendTo , Cc , and BCc properties, and the message subject by the Subject property.

Once all the appropriate properties have been set call the Send method and your message will be sent to its intended recipient(s).

Other SMTP headers may be specified through the OtherHeaders property. Information about interaction with the server is provided via the PITrail event.

A comma separated list of addresses for blind carbon copies (optional).

The BCc 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, but no BCc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses, so individual recipients never see the list of the other recipients.

The bean will return an error if the MailServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc but it will only fire an Error event if the same happens with an email address specified in BCc .

If the resulting header is longer thanMaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

setBCc

public void setBCc(java.lang.String BCc)
            throws IPWorksSSLException

A comma separated list of addresses for blind carbon copies (optional).

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

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the bean initiate connections (or accept in the case of server beans) only through that interface.

If the bean 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.

setLocalHost

public void setLocalHost(java.lang.String localHost)
                  throws IPWorksSSLException

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

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

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the bean initiate connections (or accept in the case of server beans) only through that interface.

IPWorksSSLException

getMailPort

public int getMailPort()

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).

setMailPort

public void setMailPort(int mailPort)
                 throws IPWorksSSLException

The server port for SMTP (default 25).

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

IPWorksSSLException

getMailServer

public java.lang.String getMailServer()

The name or address of a mail server (mail relay).

The MailServer 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 bean 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 the MailServer property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the MailServer property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the bean is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with a "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

setMailServer

public void setMailServer(java.lang.String mailServer)
                   throws IPWorksSSLException

The name or address of a mail server (mail relay).

The MailServer 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 bean 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 the MailServer property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the MailServer property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the bean is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with a "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

Sets or retrieves a beanconfiguration setting.

Config is a generic method available in every bean. It is used to set and retrieveconfiguration settingsfor the bean.

Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the bean, 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.
