Remarks

Using this object to send emails via Internet. If you are not familiar with the SMTP protocol then use the send method, which send an email all in one step and fires onSend events. Otherwise, you can use the command method to send an email by hand. Before using these methods, remember to set the server, port, username and password properties (username and password is used for SMTP authorization. The SendMail Object supports the login authorization). If you use the command method to send an email, you must connect to the server first.

1. Sending an email by using the send method

   //first make an email
   var stream = new Stream("c:\\demo\\clock.html");
   var str = "";
   while (stream.pos < stream.length)
   {
       var s = stream.readLine();
       str += s;
       str += "\r\n";
   }
   stream.close();
   var mail = new Mail;
   //make the envelope
   mail.from = "someone@server.com";
   mail.replyTo = "someone@server.com";
   mail.to = "recipient@xys.com ";
   mail.subject = "A test";
   mail.cc = "someoneelse@anotherserver.com";
   mail.bcc = "anotherone@bccserver.com";
   mail.date = Date();
   mail.priority = 3;
   //make the html
   var re = new RegExp("clock.swf", "gi");
   mail.html = str.replace(re, "cid:12345");
   //load the flash movie
   mail.addHtmlItem("c:\\demo\\clock.swf", "12345");
   //send the mail
   var sender = new SendMail;
   sender.server = "a_smtp_server";
   //if need authorization, set username and password
   sender.username = "username";
   sender.password = "passowrd";
   sender.send(mail);
   

2. Sending an email by using the command method

   var sender = new SendMail;
   sender.server = " a_smtp_server ";
   sender.username = "username";
   sender.password = "password";
   sender.connect();
   sender.command("HELO" + sender.username + "\r\n");
   sender.command("MAIL FROM:" + mail.from + "\r\n");
   sender.command("RCPT TO:" + mail.to + "\r\n");
   sender.command("DATA\r\n");
   sender.write(mail.asText());
   sender.command("\r\n.\r\n");
   sender.close();
   

3. Handling an onSend event

   sender.onSend = function (type, msg)
   {
       trace(msg);
   }
   sender.send(mail);
