Constructor Detail

SMTPMessage

public SMTPMessage(Session session)

Default constructor. An empty message object is created. The headers field is set to an empty InternetHeaders object. The flags field is set to an empty Flags object. The modified flag is set to true.

Parameters:

session - the Session

SMTPMessage

public SMTPMessage(Session session,
                   InputStream is)
            throws MessagingException

Constructs an SMTPMessage by reading and parsing the data from the specified MIME InputStream. The InputStream will be left positioned at the end of the data for the message. Note that the input stream parse is done within this constructor itself.

Parameters:

session - Session object for this message

is - the message input stream

Throws:

MessagingException - for failures

SMTPMessage

public SMTPMessage(MimeMessage source)
            throws MessagingException

Constructs a new SMTPMessage with content initialized from the source MimeMessage. The new message is independent of the original.

Note: The current implementation is rather inefficient, copying the data more times than strictly necessary.

Parameters:

source - the message to copy content from

Throws:

MessagingException - for failures

Method Detail

setEnvelopeFrom

public void setEnvelopeFrom(String from)

Set the From address to appear in the SMTP envelope. Note that this is different than the From address that appears in the message itself. The envelope From address is typically used when reporting errors. See RFC 821 for details.

If set, overrides the mail.smtp.from property.

Parameters:

from - the envelope From address

getEnvelopeFrom

public String getEnvelopeFrom()

Return the envelope From address.

Returns:

the envelope From address, or null if not set

setNotifyOptions

public void setNotifyOptions(int options)

Set notification options to be used if the server supports Delivery Status Notification (RFC 1891). Either NOTIFY_NEVER or some combination of NOTIFY_SUCCESS, NOTIFY_FAILURE, and NOTIFY_DELAY.

If set, overrides the mail.smtp.dsn.notify property.

Parameters:

options - notification options

getNotifyOptions

public int getNotifyOptions()

Get notification options. Returns zero if no options set.

Returns:

notification options

setReturnOption

public void setReturnOption(int option)

Set return option to be used if server supports Delivery Status Notification (RFC 1891). Either RETURN_FULL or RETURN_HDRS.

If set, overrides the mail.smtp.dsn.ret property.

Parameters:

option - return option

getReturnOption

public int getReturnOption()

Return return option. Returns zero if no option set.

Returns:

return option

setAllow8bitMIME

public void setAllow8bitMIME(boolean allow)

If set to true, and the server supports the 8BITMIME extension, text parts of this message that use the "quoted-printable" or "base64" encodings are converted to use "8bit" encoding if they follow the RFC 2045 rules for 8bit text.

If true, overrides the mail.smtp.allow8bitmime property.

Parameters:

allow - allow 8-bit flag

getAllow8bitMIME

public boolean getAllow8bitMIME()

Is use of the 8BITMIME extension is allowed?

Returns:

allow 8-bit flag

setSendPartial

public void setSendPartial(boolean partial)

If set to true, and this message has some valid and some invalid addresses, send the message anyway, reporting the partial failure with a SendFailedException. If set to false (the default), the message is not sent to any of the recipients if there is an invalid recipient address.

If true, overrides the mail.smtp.sendpartial property.

Parameters:

partial - send partial flag

getSendPartial

public boolean getSendPartial()

Send message if some addresses are invalid?

Returns:

send partial flag

getSubmitter

public String getSubmitter()

Gets the submitter to be used for the RFC 2554 AUTH= value in the MAIL FROM command.

Returns:

the name of the submitter.

setSubmitter

public void setSubmitter(String submitter)

Sets the submitter to be used for the RFC 2554 AUTH= value in the MAIL FROM command. Normally only used by a server that's relaying a message. Clients will typically not set a submitter. See RFC 2554 for details.

Parameters:

submitter - the name of the submitter

getMailExtension

public String getMailExtension()

Gets the extension string to use with the MAIL command.

Returns:

the extension string

Since:

JavaMail 1.3.2

setMailExtension

public void setMailExtension(String extension)

Set the extension string to use with the MAIL command. The extension string can be used to specify standard SMTP service extensions as well as vendor-specific extensions. Typically the application should use the SMTPTransport method supportsExtension to verify that the server supports the desired service extension. See RFC 1869 and other RFCs that define specific extensions.

For example:

 if (smtpTransport.supportsExtension("DELIVERBY"))
    smtpMsg.setMailExtension("BY=60;R");
 

Parameters:

extension - the extension string

Since:

JavaMail 1.3.2
