class %Net.SMTP extends %RegisteredObject

Send a SMTP mail message

The Charset property of each %Net.MailMessagePart determines the charset for text MIME parts. The charset property is ignored unless ContentType=text/... Charset sets the Character Set for the content-type header. IMPORTANT: Charset must be set before any data is written to the TextData stream associated with this %Net.MailMessagePart. The Charset may also be initialized when the message is created by ##Class(%Net.MailMessagePart).%New(charset) or ##Class(%Net.MailMessage).%New(charset). For Unicode locale the default Charset for ##Class(%Net.SMTP).%New() is utf-8 and for 8-bit locale it is the default Cache charset.

Parameters

• parameter Base64Seq = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/";
• parameter PrintableAscii = " !""""#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~";

Properties

• property AllowHeaderEncoding as %Boolean [ InitialExpression = 1 ];
If true, the Send method will encode non-ASCII header text according to the rules specified by RFC 2047. This is the default. Some mail readers do not accept the encoding specified by RFC 2047 and thus we allow disabling this encoding by setting AllowHeaderEncoding=false.
• property AuthFrom as %String(MAXLEN=255,TRUNCATE=1);
AuthFrom specifies the address to be used for the AUTH parameter of the MAIL FROM SMTP command for SMTP authenticated session. If specified, this property will be the argument of the AUTH= extension to the MAIL FROM command. This property may be specified as "<>" to indicate that the original submitter of the messge is not known.
• property ContinueAfterBadSend as %Boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
If true, sending the email will continue if a send fails and failed email addresses will be added to the FailedSend list.
• property Debug as %Integer [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
• property Error as %String(MAXLEN=255,TRUNCATE=1);
If Send is called and returns an error status, the error message is in the Error property.
• property FailedSend as list of %String(MAXLEN=8000,TRUNCATE=1);
A list of email addresses for which the Send failed. If the Send for any address is successful, then a %Status of $$$OK is returned by Send and this list contains any failed addresses. If Send is not successful for any email address, then an %Status of $$$SMTPNoSend and all address on this list. Use (sender.FailedSend.Count()=0) to test if all sends succeeded.
• property SSLConfiguration as %String;
The name of the activated TLS/SSL configuration to use for smpts requests.
• property ShowBcc as %Boolean;
If ShowBcc = true (1), then Bcc headers will be written to the email message. The Bcc headers will usually be filtered out by the SMTP server.
• property UseSTARTTLS as %Boolean;
If true then the STARTTLS extension to SMTP (RFC 3207) should be used to authenticate to the SMTP server on the normal SMTP port. The SSLConfiguration must be specified.
• property authenticator as %Net.Authenticator;
To do SMTP authentication with the SMTP server (as defined by RFC 2554), instantiate a %Net.Authenticator object, set UserName and Password properties of the authenticator and assign it to this property. An example of the use of authenticator follows.
	#include %occOptions
	#include %occStatus
	authtestmailsend ;
	;  Replace information marked with [[ ]]
	new auth,m,s,status
	set s=##class(%Net.SMTP).%New()
	set auth=##class(%Net.Authenticator).%New() ; use default authentication list
	set auth.UserName=[["myUser"]]
	set auth.Password=[["myPassword"]]
	set s.authenticator=auth
	set s.smtpserver=[["SMTP server name"]]
	set s.timezone=[["-0400"]]  may remove this line to get Universal Time
	set m=##class(%Net.MailMessage).%New()
	set m.From=[["test@company.com"]]
	do m.To.Insert([["receiver@another.com"]])
	do m.To.Insert([["Joe Smith <jsmith@another.com>"]])
	set m.Subject="Sent by Cache' mail"
	set m.Charset="iso-8859-1"
	do m.TextData.Write("This message has been sent using an SMTP server with Authemtication.")
	set status=s.Send(m)
	if $$$ISERR(status) do $system.OBJ.DisplayError(status)
	quit
• property bufcount as %Integer [ InitialExpression = 1 ];
• property localhost as %String(TRUNCATE=1) [ InitialExpression = $ZU(110) ];
The sending host, default is $ZU(110).
• property port as %String(MAXLEN=100,TRUNCATE=1);
The port of the SMTP server, the default is 25 for plain text and 465 for SSL.
• property smtpserver as %String(MAXLEN=100,TRUNCATE=1);
the name of the SMTP server
• property timezone as %String(MAXLEN=100,TRUNCATE=1);
timezone as specified by RFC822, for example "EST", "PDT", "-0400". If timezone is "LOCAL", then the local timezone expressed as "+nnnn" or "-nnnn" is used. If timezone is not set, then "UT" is used for the timezone and universal time is used in the message.

Methods

• method EncodeXtext(text As %String) as %String
xtext encoding is defined in RFC 1891 as:

"xtext" is formally defined as follows:
xtext = *( xchar / hexchar )
xchar = any ASCII CHAR between "!" (33) and "~" (126) inclusive, except for "+" and "=".
;"hexchar"s are intended to encode octets that cannot appear
;as ASCII characters within an esmtp-value. hexchar = ASCII "+" immediately followed by two upper case hexadecimal digits

• method Login(ByRef authenticated As %Boolean)
Setup session with the SMTP server. We will use the EHLO command and SMTP authentication as supplied by the authenticator property where possible. If EHLO is not accepted or authentication fails, we will attempt to use the HELO command.
• method Send(msg As %Net.MailMessage) as %Status
Used to send msg to SMTP server.

Returns a %Status to indicate success or failure.

The send supports the following small subset of permissible message header fields. Set the corresponding MailMessage properties before invoking send.

  • Date - set from msg.Date; will be set to the current date and time if not specified
  • From - set from msg.From
  • Subject - set from msg.Subject
  • To - set from msg.To by converting to "," separated list
  • Cc - optionally set from msg.Cc by converting to "," separated list
  • Bcc - optionally set from msg.Bcc by converting to "," separated list
  • Sender - optionally set from msg.Sender
  • Reply-To - optionally set from msg.ReplyTo

The "MAIL FROM:" SMTP command uses the Sender field if specified, otherwise the From field.
The "RCPT TO:" SMTP command uses the To and Cc lists joined by commas.
simple e-mail address must be passed to MAIL and RCPT. Therefore if the address is of the form name <email>, the value passed to the SMTP command is just email.

• method zone() as %String
Return timezone converted to RFC822 format
