posted March 26, 2002 7:00 PM Need a C++ app that will send both text & HTML messages. I'm starting with text messages and need some help. Do I create a new Message object and call the SMTP object's put_Message() method after setting it's properties or do I get the Message object from SMTP using get_Message(), set the properties and proceed? The same question could apply to the To property - create a new DartStrings object or just get the Message's existing one? Here's a code snippet: //Get the existing Message object hr = m_pSMTPServer->get_Message(&pMessage); //The sample did this, not sure it is necessary pMessage->put_Content(msgMessage, msgString, _variant_t("")); //Set the Subject and From properties hr = pMessage->put_Subject(_bstr_t("Test Subject")); hr = pMessage->put_From(_bstr_t("cjoyce@addressograph.com")); //Get the DartStrings object that holds the To members hr = pMessage->get_To(&pToList); pToList->Add(_bstr_t("joe@company.com"), 0); pToList->Add(_bstr_t("sally@company.com"), 1); //Release the IDartStrings interface pToList->Release(); pToList = NULL; //Now call AddText to set the message text IPart* pPart = NULL; pMessage->AddText(_variant_t("This is the body of the email"), _bstr_t("us-ascii"), &pPart); m_pSMTPServer->put_Timeout(60000); _variant_t vLogTemp; vLogTemp.SetString("c:\\temp\\Dart.log"); m_pSMTPServer->Trace(&vLogTemp, VARIANT_TRUE, VARIANT_TRUE, _bstr_t("\r\n---> "), _bstr_t("\r\n<--- ")); //Login to the SMTP server hr = m_pSMTPServer->Login(_bstr_t("smtp.myserver.com"), 25, _bstr_t(""), _bstr_t("")); _variant_t vTemp; vTemp.ChangeType(VT_EMPTY, NULL); //Send the message hr = m_pSMTPServer->Send(&vTemp); //Logout hr = m_pSMTPServer->Logout(); I can send a message but it arrives with no subject or from address. It also only sends the mail to one recipient (sally). I've added two recipients. Where can I find step-by-step instruction on how to send text and html messages? |

posted March 26, 2002 7:20 PM Okay, I found something else that is very confusing. For brevity I left out one piece of code in my sample. I verify each address before adding it to the To collection. If You take my sample code as is, it works. If you replace these lines: pToList->Add(_bstr_t("joe@company.com"), 0); pToList->Add(_bstr_t("sally@company.com"), 1); with this: //Create a temp DartStrings obj to verify email addresses IDartStrings * pDNS = NULL; hr = ::CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(DartStrings), NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, __uuidof(IDartStrings), (void**)&pDNS); //Add the DNS server to the list hr = pDNS->Add(_bstr_t("my.dns.server"), 0); //Verify each address before adding VerifyMethodConstants result; m_pSMTPServer->Verify(pDNS, _bstr_t("joe@company.com"), &result); if (result == verifyValid ) { pToList->Add(_bstr_t("joe@company.com"), 0); } m_pSMTPServer->Verify(pDNS, _bstr_t("sally@company.com"), &result); if (result == verifyValid ) { pToList->Add(_bstr_t("sally@company.com"), 1); } pDNS->Release(); pDNS = NULL; You get the results I indicated in my original post - an email only to the second recip. with no subject or from. Strange, huh? |

posted March 28, 2002 5:18 PM Hi Chris, We have an article about HTML email here: http://support.dart.com/KBDetail.dwp11 It is in VB, but it will help you to get started. As far as using the control in VC++, I recommend looking at our samples. If you need help beyond this, please email us at support@dart.com. Thanks, -ken K M Drake Dart Tech Support |
