SMTP -MTM Overview

SMTP -MTM Overview -

This section provides an overview of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol -(SMTP) MTM.

Purpose

Provides APIs for sending of Internet emails.

Architectural relationships

The Messaging Middleware -architecture defines a framework in which modules (MTMs) can be implemented -that provide support for particular messaging protocols. A client MTM provides -the API for application engines to use the protocol. The SMTP API provides -the client MTM API, plus supporting classes for SMTP, see Email -Overview.

Description

The API has four key concepts: SMTP -Client MTM, SMTP service settings, progress information, and email message -entry information.

SMTP Client MTM

The SMTP Client -MTM provides an SMTP-specific operation, to enable automatic sending of waiting -messages either immediately or whenever a dial-up connection is made. Some -generic messaging operations, such as receiving messages, are not supported -by the MTM.

The SMTP Client MTM class is CSmtpClientMtm. -Most of the functions in this class are implementations of the virtual functions -defined by the CBaseMtm base class. The SMTP Client MTM -implements the standard Client MTM APIs including the functions required to -allow clients of SendAs to create emails.

Commits cached changes -to the current message context to the storage controlled by the Message Server.
Loads the cache with -the message data for the current context
Stores and loads the -current service settings from the object's cache into the central repository -for the current entry.
Creates a reply or forward -message to the current message context.
Searches the specified -message parts for the plain text.

SMTP service settings

Settings for SMTP connections -are stored in the message store (CMsvStore) for the SMTP -service entry. Settings include server address and email address. Encapsulation -of service settings is provided by the CImSmtpSettings class.

Progress -information

The progress information can be obtained for messaging -operations. For SMTP operations, progress information includes such things -as connection state and number of messages sent. Progress information is provided -by TSmtpProgress.

Email message entry information

Protocol-specific -data for a message is stored in fields in its index entry. A class TMsvEmailEntry is -provided to read these fields for e-mail protocols (including SMTP).
