Bounced Email Testing

This example sends an email to bounce@chilkatsoft.com. Chilkat has setup a mailbox (bounce@chilkatsoft.com) that has a message limit of 2. The mailbox is already full, so any messages sent to it will generate an automated mailbox-full bounce reply. Chilkat is providing this mailbox so you may test your bounce handling programs.

//  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan();

//  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
bool success;
success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show("Component unlock failed");
    return;
}

//  Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com";
mailman.SmtpUsername = "myUsername";
mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword";

//  Create a new email object
Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();

email.Subject = "This is a test";
email.Body = "This is a test";
email.From = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>";

//  You may test by sending email to bounce@chilkatsoft.com.
//  Chilkat created this email acccount explicitly for testing.
//  Any email sent to it will receive a "mailbox-full" bounce reply.
email.AddTo("Chilkat Bounce Testing","bounce@chilkatsoft.com");

//  Bounced email will be delivered to this address:
email.BounceAddress = "bounce.processor@chilkatsoft.com";

//  Note: the BounceAddress property equates to setting the
//  "return-path" email header.  Mail bounces are sent
//  to the email address specified in the "return-path" header
//  field, which may be different than the email address in
//  the "From" header field.
