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.

use chilkat;

#  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
$mailman = new chilkat::CkMailMan();

#  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
$success = $mailman->UnlockComponent("30-day trial");
if ($success != 1) {
    print "Component unlock failed" . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Set the SMTP server.
$mailman->put_SmtpHost("smtp.chilkatsoft.com");
$mailman->put_SmtpUsername("myUsername");
$mailman->put_SmtpPassword("myPassword");

#  Create a new email object
$email = new chilkat::CkEmail();

$email->put_Subject("This is a test");
$email->put_Body("This is a test");
$email->put_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->put_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.

$success = $mailman->SendEmail($email);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\n";
}
else {
    print "Mail Sent!" . "\n";
