# file: EmailReturnReceipt.pl

use chilkat;

# Request a return-receipt when sending $email->
$mailman = new chilkat::CkMailMan();
$mailman->UnlockComponent('anything for 30-day trial');

# Set your SMTP server's hostname
$mailman->put_SmtpHost("smtp.comcast.net");

# If your SMTP server requires a authentication, set username/password
# $mailman->put_SmtpUsername("***")
# $mailman->put_SmtpPassword("***")

# Create an e-mail object
$email = new chilkat::CkEmail();
$email->put_Subject("Send email with return-receipt requested in Perl");
$email->put_Body("Email with return-receipt requested sent from a Perl script");
$email->put_From('Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>');

# Add a few recipients...
$email->AddTo('Matt','matt@chilkatsoft.com');
$email->AddTo('TagTooga','admin@tagtooga.com');

# The disposition-notification-to email header field
# is what should be set to requeset a return-receipt.
# Information about numerous email header fields can be found
# at this URL: http://chilkatsoft.com/braindump/email_headers.html
# The Chilkat email component uses a ReturnReceipt property, which
# if set to true causes the disposition-notification-to header
# to be added to an $email->
$email->put_ReturnReceipt(true);

# An alternative way of doing the same thing is to do this:
# $email->AddHeaderField("Disposition-Notification-To","<support@chilkatsoft.com>")

# Send the email
$success = $mailman->SendEmail($email);
if (! $success)
    {
	$mailman->SaveLastError('lastError.txt');	
    }
