Class Htmlmailers

java.lang.Object
  ipworksssl.Htmlmailers

public class Htmlmailers
extends java.lang.Object

The HTMLMailerS Bean is used to send HTML email including embedded images.

The HTMLMailerS Bean is the SSL-enabled equivalent (RFC 2487) of the IP*Works! HTMLMailer bean. The main difference is the introduction of a set of new configuration settings, properties and events that deal with SSL security. The ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config configuration settings determine which protocols are enabled and at what security level. The {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getSSLCert SSLCert} property is used to select a client certificate if the server is requesting client authentication. The {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config configuration setting, together with the {@link ipworksssl.HtmlmailersSSLServerAuthenticationEvent SSLServerAuthentication} event allow you to check the server identity and other security attributes. Finally, the {@link ipworksssl.HtmlmailersSSLStatusEvent SSLStatus} event provides information about the SSL handshake.

The bean sends a message (provided in {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageHTML MessageHTML} and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageText MessageText} ). The HTML message may contain references to images which are automatically embedded into the message.

The {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageHTML MessageHTML} property contains the HTML version of the message. The corresponding plain text version is provided into the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageText MessageText} property.

When {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageHTML MessageHTML} is set, the bean automatically computes a plaintext version of the text and puts it into {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageText MessageText} . You may choose to override this default text with your own version.

The recipients are specified by the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getSendTo SendTo} , {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getCc Cc} , and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getBCc BCc} properties, and the message subject by the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getSubject Subject} property.

Once all the appropriate properties have been set call the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#send Send} method and your message will be sent to its intended recipient(s).

Other SMTP headers may be specified through the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getOtherHeaders OtherHeaders} property. Information about interaction with the server is provided via the {@link ipworksssl.HtmlmailersPITrailEvent PITrail} event.

                        throws IPWorksSSLException

Sets or retrieves a ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config configuration setting.

{@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config Config} is a generic method available in every bean. It is used to set and retrieve {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config configuration settingsfor the bean.

These 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 {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config 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 {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY") . The value will be returned as a string.

The bean 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 bean, access to these internal properties is provided through the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config Config} method.

HTMLMailer Configuration Settings

Charset

When set, the charset Content-Type attribute will be added using the specified value

This property is used to specify the "charset" Content-Type attribute for both the HTML ( {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageHTML MessageHTML} ) and plain text ( {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageText MessageText} ) part headers. The default value is "" (empty string) in which case the charset attribute will not be added to the Content-Type header.

ImageData[index]

The data for the image at the specified index

If this is set, the data will be added into the image at the specified index. All data entered must be hex encoded data. The bean will then decode the hex encoded data and insert it as the image's source.The collection is indexed from 0 to {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getImages Images} .Count - 1.

MessageHeadersString

String representation of RFC822-encoded headers of the message

This setting holds the full headers of the message in RFC822 format.

MessageTextEncoding

When set, the MessageHTML and MessageText values will be encoded using the specified encoding

When set to one of the below integer values, both the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageHTML MessageHTML} and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageText MessageText} properties will be encoded using the specified encoding. The "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header will also be set for both the HTML and plain text parts. The following encodings are supported:

0

7-bit

1

Quoted-Printable

2

Base64

3

8-bit

TransferText

The current portion of the message being sent

This setting can be accessed from within the {@link ipworksssl.HtmlmailersTransferEvent Transfer} event to get the current portion of the message being transferred.

UseTempFile

Determines if temporary files are used during message creation

When true the bean will create temporary files on disk at the path specified by {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config as necessary during message creation. Set this to False to disable the creation of temporary files. When set to False the message will be created entirely in memory. The default value is True.

AttachmentEncoding[index]

Content-Transfer-Encoding for attached file (at index)

This configuration setting allows you to set the Content-Transfer-Encoding for each attached file in the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getAttachments Attachments} array property. Valid array indicies are from 0 to AttachmentCount - 1. When set to one of the below integer values, the attachment will be encoded using the specified encoding. The following encodings are supported:

0

7-bit

1

Quoted-Printable

2

Base64

3

8-bit

AttachmentType[index]

Content-type for attached file (at index)

This configuration setting allows you to set the Content-Type for each attached file in the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getAttachments Attachments} array property. Valid array indices are from 0 to AttachmentCount - 1. To set the Content-Type for the attachment at index 2 you would set the string "AttachmentType[2]=application/octet-stream".

OverrideFilename

If set to true, the AttachmentName property value will be used to set the MIME part Filename attribute

When set to true, the Name value specified will be used to set the Filename attribute of the Content-Disposition header. The default value is False, in which case the component will use the same name as the file being added.

TempFilePath

If set, the temporary files created during message creation will be put in the path specified

The TempFilePath configuration sets the path at which the temporary files will be created.

SMTP Configuration Settings

AllowEmptyTo

If set to True, then the SendTo property is not required

Normally, the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getSendTo SendTo} property is required to send a message. If AllowEmptyTo is True, then this is not the case, and messages can be sent with just one or both of {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getCc Cc} and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getBCc BCc} set.

AuthorizationIdentity

The value to use as the authorization identity when SASL authentication is used

When {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getAuthMechanism AuthMechanism} is set to amXOAUTH2 you may use this setting to specify an authorization identity to be used when authenticating. In the case of amXOAUTH2 this should be your OAUTH authorization string. For instance:

 Bearer ya29.AHES6ZRmS-8xPbpGetC1VbABJIBRdKm-c4X7wMVGAbgxdGt5q8Ts3Q 

Note: When using amXOAUTH2 {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getUser User} must be specified, but {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getPassword Password} is not required.

Charset

When set, the message headers will be encoded using the specified Charset

This property is used to specify the "charset" to be used to encode the message headers. For example, to use UTF-8 you can set this property to "UTF-8". The default value is "" (empty string) in which case the headers will not be encoded.

FoldHeaders

Tells the bean whether to fold the headers

If True, the bean will fold the headers if the headers are over a certain length. If False, the headers will be on one line regardless of length.Note that this is True by default.

Hello

The argument for HELO (herald) command to the server (defaults to local host name)

The Hello property specifies a string to send to the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMailServer MailServer} at connection time as an argument to the SMTP HELO command. This generally identifies the host sending mail, and that's why the Hello property defaults to the name of the local host. The property is provided in case the bean does not accept the default value and a custom value (such as, for example, a fully qualified domain name) must be sent.If {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getAllowExtensions AllowExtensions} is True the EHLO command will be sent instead of the HELO command.

KeepQueue

If set to True, queued files are not deleted after a successful send

Normally, {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#processQueue ProcessQueue} deletes queued files after processing them. If KeepQueue is True, the file extension is instead changed to ".sent" and the files are not deleted.

MaxHeaderLength

Maximum length for headers to avoid line folding (default 80)

The MaxHeaderLength specifies the maximum line length supported by the mail delivery system. Any headers longer than MaxHeaderLength are folded as specified in RFC 822.It is generally a good idea to use a MaxHeaderLength of less than 100 bytes, although different mail relays and mail servers have different requirements for header lengths.

MessageIdAlgorithm

Determines the algorithm used to hash the random MessageId

The MessageIdAlgorithm specifies which algorithm to use in the hash for the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getMessageId MessageId} when the property is set to "*". The default value is "MD5".Possible values are:

• "MD5" (default)
• "SHA1"

OtherHeaders

An RFC 822 compliant string consisting of extra headers

This is the same as the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getOtherHeaders OtherHeaders} property. This setting is exposed here for use by beans that inherit from SMTP.

ReturnPath

Sets the Return-Path to be used for sending email

This is the same as the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getReturnPath ReturnPath} property. This setting is exposed here for use by beans that inherit from SMTP.

SendRSET

Whether to send RSET command

By default, the bean will periodically send the RSET command to the server. Changing this configuration setting to False will prevent the RSET command from being sent. This can be useful when interacting with some servers that do not respond properly to the RSET command.

StopOnToErrors

Instructs the bean to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the TOs

If this setting is set to True, the bean will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a To address. If set to False, an error will be fired for every To that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is True.

StopOnCcErrors

Instructs the bean to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the CCs

If this setting is set to True, the bean will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a Cc address. If set to False, an error will be fired for every Cc that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is True.

StopOnBccErrors

Instructs the bean to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the BCCs

If this setting is set to True, the bean will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a Bcc address. If set to False, an error will be fired for every Bcc that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is False.

IPPort Configuration Settings

ConnectionTimeout

Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection

When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the bean will use {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getTimeout Timeout} for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

FirewallAutoDetect

Tells the bean whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available

This is the same as AutoDetect . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallHost

Name or IP address of firewall (optional)

If a {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.If the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

NOTE: This is the same as Host . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallListener

If true, the component binds to a SOCKS firewall as a server (IPPort only)

This entry is for IPPort only and does not work for other components that descend from IPPort.If this entry is set, the bean acts as a server. {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getRemoteHost RemoteHost} and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getRemotePort RemotePort} are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getRemoteHost RemoteHost} , and it is recommended that {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getRemoteHost RemoteHost} be set to empty string in this case.

{@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getRemotePort RemotePort} is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the {@link ipworksssl.HtmlmailersConnectionStatusEvent ConnectionStatus} event.

The connection to the firewall is made by calling the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#connect Connect} method.

FirewallPassword

Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall

If {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is specified, the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the bean throws an exception.NOTE: This is the same as Password . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPort

The TCP port for the FirewallHost;

Note that the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is set automatically when {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is set to a valid value.NOTE: This is the same as Port . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallType

Determines the type of firewall to connect through

The appropriate values are as follows:

0

No firewall (default setting).

1

Connect through a tunneling proxy. {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is set to 80.

2

Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is set to 1080.

3

Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is set to 1080.

NOTE: This is the same as FirewallType . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallUser

A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall

If the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is specified, the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the bean throws an exception.NOTE: This is the same as User . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

KeepAliveTime

The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent

When set, {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config will automatically be set to true. By default the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

KeepAliveInterval

The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received

When set, {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config will automatically be set to true. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config . If no acknowledgement is received from the remote host the keep-alive packet will be re-sent. This setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.Note: This value is not applicable in Java or MAC.

Linger

When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully

This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.In the case that Linger is True (default), there are two scenarios for determining how long the connection will linger. The first, if {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP protocol timeout expires.

In the second scenario, {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the bean returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data is sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (by a client acknowledgment, for example), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

LingerTime

Time in seconds to have the connection linger

LingerTime is the time, in seconds, to leave the socket connection linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP protocol timeout.

LocalHost

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

The {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getLocalHost 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 bean initiate connections (or accept in the case of server beans) only through that interface.

If the bean is connected, the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getLocalHost 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 TCP port in the local host where the bean binds

This must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the bean 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 {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getLocalPort LocalPort} after the connection is established.

{@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getLocalPort 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.

MaxLineLength

The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found

{@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getEOL EOL} string.If an {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getEOL EOL} string is found in the input stream before {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config bytes are received, the {@link ipworksssl.HtmlmailersDataInEvent DataIn} event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#getEOL EOL} is found, and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the {@link ipworksssl.HtmlmailersDataInEvent DataIn} event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes. The maximum value is 65536 bytes.

MaxTransferRate

The transfer rate limit in bytes per second

This setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default this is not set and there is no limit.

TCPKeepAlive

Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled

If set to true, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config and {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

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.

CloseStreamAfterTransfer

If true, the component will close the upload or download stream after the transfer

This setting determines whether the input or output stream is closed after the transfer completes. When set to True (default), all streams will be closed after a transfer is completed. In order to keep streams open after the transfer of data, set this to False. the default value is True.

TcpNoDelay

Whether or not to delay when sending packets

When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.By default, this config is set to false.

SSL Configuration Settings

ReuseSSLSession

Determines if the SSL session is reused

If set to true, the component will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:

• The target host name is the same.
• The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
• The application process that calls the function is the same.
• The logon session is the same.
• The instance of the component is the same.

SSLCipherStrength

The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption

This minimum cipher strength largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated.Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the {@link ipworksssl.HtmlmailersSSLStatusEvent SSLStatus} event.

Use this setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config config setting.

SSLEnabledProtocols

Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols

Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 192). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:

TLS1.2

3072 (Hex C00)

TLS1.1

768 (Hex 300)

TLS1

192 (Hex C0) (Default)

SSL3

48 (Hex 30)

SSL2

12 (Hex 0C)

Please note that although a number of sites still support SSL2, it is usually a good idea to disable it because of potential security vulnerabilities.

When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config config setting.

TLS 1.1 and TLS1.2 support are only available starting with Windows 7.

SSLProvider

The name of the security provider to use

Change this setting to use security providers other than the system default.Use this setting with caution. Disabling SSL security or pointing to the wrong provider could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

The special value "*" (default) picks the default SSL provider defined in the system.

Note: On Windows systems, the default SSL Provider is "Microsoft Unified Security Protocol Provider" and cannot be changed.

SSLSecurityFlags

Flags that control certificate verification

The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be or-ed together to exclude multiple conditions:

0x00000001

Ignore time validity status of certificate.

0x00000002

Ignore time validity status of CTL.

0x00000004

Ignore non-nested certificate times.

0x00000010

Allow unknown Certificate Authority.

0x00000020

Ignore wrong certificate usage.

0x00000100

Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.

0x00000200

Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.

0x00000400

Ignore unknown Certificate Authority revocation status.

0x00000800

Ignore unknown Root revocation status.

0x00008000

Allow test Root certificate.

0x00004000

Trust test Root certificate.

0x80000000

Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN not-matching server name).

This functionality is currently not available in Java or when the provider is OpenSSL.

SSLContextProtocol

The protocol used when getting an SSLContext instance

Possible values are SSL, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLS and TLSv1. Use it only in case your security provider does not support TLS. This is the parameter "protocol" inside the SSLContext.getInstance(protocol) call.

SSLTrustManagerFactoryAlgorithm

The algorithm to be used to create a TrustManager through TrustManagerFactory

Possible values include SunX509. This is the parameter "algorithm" inside the TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(algorithm) call.

SSLEnabledCipherSuites

The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation

The enabled cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").

The special value "*" means that the component will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

Example values:

 obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");
 obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA");

Note: This configuration setting is available only in .NET and Java.

SSLAlgorithmList

A string that controls the cipher algorithms to be used by SSL

This configuration option takes a semicolon (;) delimited list of cipher algorithms to specify what algorithms may be used by SSL. This option can be used in conjunction with SSLEnabledProtocols to control which ciphers are used.For example:

 obj.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); // TLS1.2  (supports SHA_256)

Socket Configuration 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 bean 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 bean is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Configuration Settings

GUIAvailable

Tells the bean whether or not a message loop is available for processing events

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The bean will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.In some non-GUI applications an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GuiAvailable to false will ensure that the bean does not attempt to process external events.

UseDaemonThreads

Whether threads created by the bean are daemon threads

If set to True, when the bean creates a thread the thread's Daemon property will be explicitly set to True. By default this setting is False and the bean will not set the Daemon property on the created thread.

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

connect

public void connect()
             throws IPWorksSSLException

Connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command.

This method connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command, thus preparing for sending messages. Any number of messages can later be sent using the Send method.

Example (Connect and Send an Email)

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

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

disconnect

public void disconnect()
                throws IPWorksSSLException

Disconnects from the SMTP server.

This method disconnects from the mail relay.

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

doEvents

public void doEvents()
              throws IPWorksSSLException

Processes events from the internal message queue.

When DoEvents is called, the bean processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

interrupt

public void interrupt()
               throws IPWorksSSLException

Interrupt the current method.

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

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

processQueue

public void processQueue(java.lang.String queueDir)
                  throws IPWorksSSLException

Sends the messages which have previously been queued into QueueDir .

This method sends the messages which have previously been queued into QueueDir . The PITrail event shows the interaction with the server as messages as are processed.

This method looks in the directory for files with extension ".queued" and starts processing them.

When processing starts, the file extension is changed to ".sending". If an error happens at this stage, the sending process is aborted, and the file extension is changed to ".failed".

If the file is successfully sent, the file is normally deleted, unless the {@link ipworksssl.Htmlmailers#config configuration setting is set to True, in which case the file extension is instead changed to ".sent" and the queue file is not deleted.

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

queue

public java.lang.String queue(java.lang.String queueDir)
                       throws IPWorksSSLException

Queues the message into QueueDir .

This method queues the message into QueueDir . The message is queued into a unique file into the directory QueueDir for future processing.

QueueDir must already exist, or an error will be generated.

The method returns the name of the unique queue file created in QueueDir . The file extension is ".queued".

Please refer to the ProcessQueue method for more information on email queue processing.

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

resetHeaders

public void resetHeaders()
                  throws IPWorksSSLException

Resets all the message headers to empty.

This method resets all the message headers to "" (empty string). Use this method before creating a new message, so that headers from the previous message are not carried over to the next one.

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

send

public void send()
          throws IPWorksSSLException

Sends the current message and MIME encoded attachment.

This method sends the current message and MIME encoded attachment. If the bean is not connected to the mail relay, a connection is created, the message is sent, and then the connection is closed unless an error occurs.

If the bean 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 HTML Email)

 HTMLMailerControl.MailServer = "myserver"
 HTMLMailerControl.SendTo = "recipient@myserver.com"
 HTMLMailerControl.From = "me@myserver.com"
 HTMLMailerControl.Subject = "My Subject"
 HTMLMailerControl.MessageHTML = "<b>Hello</b>, my name is <i>Tom</i>"
 HTMLMailerControl.Send 

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

setMessageHTMLStream

public void setMessageHTMLStream(java.io.InputStream messageStream)
                          throws IPWorksSSLException

Sets the stream from which the bean will read the HTML version of the message.

This method sets the stream from which the bean will read the HTML version of the message. Once set, the bean reads the contents of the stream, and populates the MessageHTML property with the HTML version of the message. The corresponding plain text version is provided into the MessageText property.

When this property is called, the bean automatically computes a plaintext version of the text and puts it into MessageText . You may choose to override this default text with your own version.

Throws:

IPWorksSSLException

addHtmlmailersEventListener

public void addHtmlmailersEventListener(HtmlmailersEventListener l)
