PureSMTP library : mail & attachments (AUTH supported)

gnozal · Post by **gnozal** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 4:54 pm

Use the PureSMTP_AddHeader() block only one time before PureSMTP_SendMail(). The second time you are sending the headers twice. The server may not like it.

Or use PureSMTP_ClearHeader(), like this :

Code: Select all

...
If PureSMTP_OpenSMTPConnection(MySMTPServer, MySMTPPort) = #PureSMTP_Ok 
            PureSMTP_SetXMailer("Testemail") 
            PureSMTP_SetContentType("text/html; charset=iso-8859-1") 

            PureSMTP_ClearHeader() ; <=============
            PureSMTP_AddHeader("X-MSMail-Priority", "Normal") 
            PureSMTP_AddHeader("Reply-To", "geotrail@gmail.com") 
             
            Head$ = "<html><head><meta http-equiv="+Chr(34)+"Content-Type"+Chr(34)+" content="+Chr(34)+"text/html; charset=UTF-8"+Chr(34)+"><title>Gmail</title></head><body>" 
            Footer$ = "</body></html>" 
            Message$ + Head$ + Msg$ + Footer$ 
             
            Status = PureSMTP_SendMail(Ricipient$, "Robert Olsen <geotrail@start.no>", Subject$, Message$, "") 
            If Status = #PureSMTP_Ok
...

Maybe this solves your problem.

Update Both versions

Changes :
- new function PureSMTP_AddHeader(Header.s, String.s) ; Set additional header strings.
- new function PureSMTP_ClearHeader() ; Clears the additional the header strings.

That didn't work, but adding this PureSMTP_CloseSMTPConnection() did hehehe

I added it to the second code but not the first

Thank you so much for your hard work gnozal. I think I have all your libs for PB4 and use them frequently, specially love PureRESIZE, that makes my life so much easier

Small bug (missing 'feature'?): PureSMTP won't let you send a file attachment that has zero length.

Outlook and TheBat, do...

PurePop3 however will accept and create a zero length file attachment no problem.

Also, could there be an option to change the boundary 'pre-text', it seems set to:

PureSMTP_[boundary here]

It's a feature.

Code: Select all

InputBufferLength.l = Lof(Stream) ; Attachment length
*InputBuffer = AllocateMemory(InputBufferLength)
If *InputBuffer
  ; Encode attachment

Why would you do that ?

Will see ...

I wouldn't normally want to send a file of zero length either. My 'automated' system tried...

But, other email systems seem to allow it and PurePop3 will accept and create a zero length file. So I guessed it may have been overlooked with PureSMTP. Thought you may not have noticed.

hello, first time i use it. it's very useful.

on my dev computer it's ok - every time i send a mail.

but on our server i get this message :

354 Enter mail, end "." on a line by itself

i can see here for example that error 354 is :
http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/05/ ... plies.html

354 : Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>

But i don't really understand the problem.

I need some help/experience to point the problem.

The SMTP server sends '354' when it is ready to receive the mail text.
A communication example :

<CONNECT>
RECEIVE : 220 VSMAIL.myserver.local Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830 ready at Thu, 18 Jan 2007 16:53:37 +0100

SEND : HELO PureSMTP
RECEIVE : 250 VSMAIL.myserver.local Hello [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

SEND : MAIL FROM: <Gnozal@myserver.fr>
RECEIVE : 250 2.1.0 Gnozal@myserver.fr....Sender OK

SEND : RCPT TO: <Gnozal@myserver.fr>
RECEIVE : 250 2.1.5 Gnozal@myserver.fr

SEND : DATA
RECEIVE : 354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>

SEND : From: Gnozal <Gnozal@myserver.fr>
SEND : To: <Gnozal@myserver.fr>
SEND : Date: 05 May 2005 12:00:00

etc...

I don't understand when you get this message ? Does PureSMTP_SendMail() fail and you get this message with PureSMTP_GetLastServerMessage() ?

Flype · Post by **Flype** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 5:05 pm

yes i get this message from your last message function.

also - and it is important - the mail is send correctly (i can check it and i really received it).

and i receive #PureSMTP_ServerTimeOut = -6 as a result of the send mail function.

gnozal · Post by **gnozal** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 5:15 pm

That's strange ...
If the mail is sent correctly and you get the time out error, then the following seems to happen :
1. PureSMTP dialogs with server
2. Server sends 'Start Message' (354)
3. PureSMTP sends the mail text
4. PureSMTP sends 'End of message' (CRLF.CRLF)
5. PureSMTP waits for 'Closing transmission' message (221) from the server
6. PureSMTP doesn't get any answer and quits with #PureSMTP_ServerTimeOut error (and last server message is 354)
Why does the server not answer, I don't know ?

Who fix the TimeOut value ?

the server or PureSMTP ?

Flype · Post by **Flype** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 5:27 pm

after some test, it works successfully about 2 times on 3.

PureSMTP (default is 5 s, you can change it with PureSMTP_SetTimeOut())
