To use AddEmail in your ASP / VBScript project perform the following steps:
1. (Optional) If you are using Visual Interdev add a reference to the AddEmail library: In Visual Interdev main menu, select Project -> References. Find and select AddEmail 3.0 Type Library.
2. Declare variable that will hold a reference to the SmtpMail object:
Dim objSmtpMail
3a. Create an instance of the SmtpMail object:
Set objSmtpMail = Server.CreateObject("AddEmail.SmtpMail")
3b. If you are sending e-mails asynchronously you will need to access the same SmtpMail object on more than one page. In this case store an instance of the SmtpMail object in Session collection:
If IsEmpty(Session("SmtpMail")) Then Set objSmtpMail = Server.CreateObject("AddEmail.SmtpMail")
Set Session("SmtpMail") = objSmtpMail
Else Set objSmtpMail = Session("SmtpMail")
End If 4. Set SMTP server address, port, username and password:
objSmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.myserver.com"
objSmtpMail.SmtpPort = 25
objSmtpMail.SmtpUsername = "jsmith"
objSmtpMail.SmtpPassword = "mypassword"
5a. Send an e-mail synchronously using SimpleSendScriptable or SimpleSendAttachmentScriptable:
Dim strError, numResultCode
numResultCode = objSmtpMail.SimpleSendScriptable("jsmith@myserver.com", "jane@someserver.com;james@someserver.com", "test", "Test message", strError)
If numResultCode = 0 Then ' The email was sent successfully
Response.Write "Sent successfully!"
Else ' The email was not sent, strError contains error description
Response.Write strError
End If 5b. Alternatively, create and fill MailMessage object and send it synchronously using SendScriptable or asynchronously using SendAsync:
Dim objMailMessage, objMailAttachment, objMailAddress, strError, numResultCode
' Create message and setup subject and body
Set objMailMessage = CreateObject("AddEmail.MailMessage")
objMailMessage.MessageBodyFormat = 1 'HTML format
objMailMessage.MessageSubject = "test"
objMailMessage.MessageBody = "<html><body><b>Testing...</b></body></html>"
' Add first attachment
Set objMailAttachment = CreateObject("AddEmail.MailAttachment")
objMailAttachment.File = "c:\files\doc1.pdf"
objMailMessage.AddAttachment(objMailAttachment)
' Add second attachment
Set objMailAttachment = CreateObject("AddEmail.MailAttachment")
objMailAttachment.File = "c:\files\doc2.pdf"
objMailMessage.AddAttachment(objMailAttachment)
' Setup first recipient Set objMailAddress = CreateObject("AddEmail.MailAddress")
objMailAddress.Name = "Jane Smith"
objMailAddress.Address = "jane@someserver.com"
objMailMessage.AddRecipient(objMailAddress)
' Setup second recipient Set objMailAddress = CreateObject("AddEmail.MailAddress")
objMailAddress.Name = "James Smith"
objMailAddress.Address = "james@someserver.com"
objMailMessage.AddRecipient(objMailAddress)
' Send prepared message synchronously Dim strError, numResultCode
numResultCode = objSmtpMail.SendScriptable(objMailMessage, True, strError)
If numResultCode = 0 Then ' The email was sent successfully
Response.Write "Sent successfully!"
Else ' The email was not sent, strError contains error description
Response.Write strError
End If
' Alternatively, send prepared message asynchronously
'Dim messageNumber
'messageNumber = objSmtpMail.SendAsync(objMailMessage, True)
' Save the message number. It is used to retrieve the status of the message 6. If the message was sent asynchronously use GetStatus to check the status of the message:
Dim numStatus
numStatus = objSmtpMail.GetStatus(numMessageNumber)
Select Case numStatus
Case 0 'MailStatusQueued
Response.Write "Queued"
Case 1 'MailStatusSending
Response.Write "Sending..."
Case 2 'MailStatusSent
Response.Write "Sent successfully!"
Case 3 'MailStatusFailed
Response.Write "Error " & objSmtpMail.GetErrorCode(numMessageNumber)
Response.Write "<BR>" & objSmtpMail.GetErrorDescription(numMessageNumber)
Case 4 'MailStatusCanceled
Response.Write "Message canceled"
End Select
