Par2: SMTP Email with Messaging templates
2009-12-08 -- Ron Schofield
 
The code for the messaging templates is bad. Too bad SV didn't clean the code up to make it work. I ran through the same problems until I rewote the code just to do SMTP. All I did was use code from codeproject and converted it to Clarion. http://beta.codeproject.com/KB/IP/zsmtp.aspx SOCKET CFastSmtp::_connectServerSocket(const char server[], const unsigned short port) { int nConnect; short nProtocolPort; LPHOSTENT lpHostEnt; LPSERVENT lpServEnt; SOCKADDR_IN sockAddr; SOCKET hServerSocket = INVALID_SOCKET; lpHostEnt = gethostbyname(server); if (lpHostEnt) { hServerSocket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,DEFAULT_PROTOCOL); if (hServerSocket != INVALID_SOCKET) { if (port != NULL) { nProtocolPort = port; }else{ lpServEnt = getservbyname("mail", DEFAULT_PROTOCOL); if (lpServEnt == NULL) nProtocolPort = htons(IPPORT_SMTP); else nProtocolPort = lpServEnt->s_port; } sockAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; sockAddr.sin_port = nProtocolPort; sockAddr.sin_addr = *((LPIN_ADDR)*lpHostEnt->h_addr_list); nConnect = connect(hServerSocket, (PSOCKADDR)&sockAddr, sizeof(sockAddr)); if(nConnect) hServerSocket = INVALID_SOCKET; } else { printf("Invalid socket\r\n"); throw; } } return(hServerSocket); } gets converted to SMTPServerSocket PROCEDURE(*CSTRING ServerName, SHORT Port) hServerSocket SOCKET lpHostEnt LONG HostEntry LIKE(HOSTENT) lpServEnt LONG ServiceEntry LIKE(SERVENT) nProtocolPort SHORT SockAddrIn LIKE(SOCKADDR_IN) ServiceName CSTRING('mail') nConnect LONG lpAddrList LONG CODE hServerSocket = INVALID_SOCKET lpHostEnt = GetHostByName(ServerName) IF lpHostEnt hServerSocket = CreateSocket(PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,DEFAULT_PROTOCOL) IF hServerSocket <> INVALID_SOCKET IF Port <> 0 nProtocolPort = Htons(Port) ELSE lpServEnt = GetServByName(ServiceName,DEFAULT_PROTOCOL) IF lpServEnt = 0 nProtocolPort = Htons(IPPORT_SMTP) ELSE memcpy(ADDRESS(ServiceEntry),lpServEnt,SIZE(ServiceEntry)); nProtocolPort = ServiceEntry.s_port END END memcpy(ADDRESS(HostEntry),lpHostEnt,SIZE(HostEntry)); memcpy(ADDRESS(lpAddrList),HostEntry.h_addr_list,HostEntry.h_length) SockAddrIn.sin_family = PF_INET SockAddrIn.sin_port = nProtocolPort SockAddrIn.sin_addr = SMTPData.SMTPIP memcpy(ADDRESS(SockAddrIn.sin_addr),lpAddrList,HostEntry.h_length) nConnect = WinsockConnect(hServerSocket,ADDRESS(SockAddrIn),SIZE(SockAddrIn)) IF nConnect = SOCKET_ERROR Alog.log('Connect returned ' & WSAGetLastError() & ' error.',LOG:Error) hServerSocket = INVALID_SOCKET END ELSE Alog.log('Invalid Socket',LOG:Error) END END RETURN(hServerSocket) Hopefully this will get you started. SMTP isn't a big bad boogy man when you get the idea how it works.
