Overview
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) enables applications to
deliver email messages to one or more recipients. The control
provides an interface for addressing and delivering messages, and
extended features such as user authentication and delivery status
notification. Unlike Microsoft's Messaging API (MAPI) or
Collaboration Data Objects (CDO), there is no requirement to have
certain third-party email applications installed or specific types
of servers installed on the local system. The control can be used to
deliver mail through a wide variety of systems, from standard UNIX
based mail servers to Windows systems running Exchange or Lotus Notes
and Domino.
Using this control, messages can be delivered directly to the
recipient, or they can be routed through a relay server, such as an
Internet service provider's mail system. The SocketTools MailMessage
control can be integrated with this library in order to provide an
extremely simple, yet flexible interface for composing and delivering
messages.
This control supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols. Both implicit and explicit SSL connections are
supported, as well as client certificates used for
authentication.
Requirements
The SocketTools ActiveX Edition components are self-registering
controls compatible with any programming language that supports COM
(Component Object Model) and the ActiveX control specification. If
you are using Visual Basic 6.0 you must have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools.
This control is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for the operating system.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit ActiveX controls.
Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute an application that uses this control, you can
either install the file in the same folder as your application
executable or as a shared component in the appropriate system folder.
If you install the control in the system folder, it is important that
you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it
must be registered. If you install the control in the same folder as
your executable, it is recommended that you use registration-free
activation or COM redirection to ensure that the correct version of
the control is loaded by the application.
