(JavaScript) Load EML and Send

Demonstrates how to load an email from a .eml file and send.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

// Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com";

// Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.SmtpUsername = "myLogin";
mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword";

// Create a new email object
var email = new CkEmail();

// Load a .eml file into the email object.
success = email.LoadEml("/data/myEmail.eml");

// Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
// The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
// open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
// same connection.  
success = mailman.SendEmail(email);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
// the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
// call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
// Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
// not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
// for the example:
success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection();
if (success !== true) {
    console.log("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.");
}

console.log("Mail Sent!");
