Detailed Description

A TCP/IP socket for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

When acting as a client, the procedure is to make the connection to a remote server, then to send a message using the following procedure: PSMTPSocket mail("mailserver"); if (mail.IsOpen()) { mail.BeginMessage("Me@here.com.au", "Fred@somwhere.com"); mail.Write(myMessage); if (!mail.EndMessage()) PError << "Mail send failed." << endl; } else PError << "Mail conection failed." << endl;

When acting as a server, a descendant class would be created to override at least the LookUpName() and HandleMessage() functions. Other functions may be overridden for further enhancement to the sockets capabilities, but these two will give a basic SMTP server functionality.

The server socket thread would continuously call the ProcessMessage() function until it returns false. This will then call the appropriate virtual function on parsing the SMTP protocol.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PSMTPServer::PSMTPServer

(

)

Create a TCP/IP SMPTP protocol socket channel.

The parameterless form creates an unopened socket, the form with the address parameter makes a connection to a remote system, opening the socket. The form with the socket parameter opens the socket to an incoming call from a "listening" socket.

Member Function Documentation

virtual ForwardResult PSMTPServer::ForwardDomain ( PCaselessString &  userDomain, PCaselessString &  forwardDomainList  )

virtual

Determine if a user for this domain may be on the local system, or should be forwarded.

Returns

Result of forward check operation.

Parameters

userDomain	Domain for user
forwardDomainList	Domains forwarding to

virtual PBoolean PSMTPServer::HandleMessage ( PCharArray &  buffer, PBoolean  starting, PBoolean  completed  )

virtual

Handle a received message.

The buffer parameter contains the partial or complete message received, depending on the completed parameter.

The default behaviour is to simply return false;

Returns

true if message was handled, false if an error occurs.

Parameters

buffer	Buffer containing message data received.
starting	This is the first call for the message.
completed	This is the last call for the message. Indication that the entire message has been received.

virtual LookUpResult PSMTPServer::LookUpName ( const PCaselessString &  name, PString &  expandedName  )

virtual

Look up a name in the context of the SMTP server.

The default bahaviour simply returns false.

Returns

Result of name look up operation.

Parameters

name	Name to look up.
expandedName	Expanded form of name (if found).

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnDATA ( )

protectedvirtual

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnEHLO ( const PCaselessString &  remoteHost )

protectedvirtual

Parameters

remoteHost

Name of remote host.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnEXPN ( const PCaselessString &  name )

protectedvirtual

Parameters

name	Name to expand.

virtual PBoolean PSMTPServer::OnMIMEData ( PCharArray &  buffer, PBoolean &  completed  )

protectedvirtual

Read an eight bit MIME message that is being received by the socket.

The MIME message is terminated by the CR/LF/./CR/LF sequence.

The default behaviour is to read the data into the buffer parameter until either the end of the message or when the messageBufferSize bytes have been read.

Returns

true if partial message received, false if the end of the data was received.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnNOOP ( )

protectedvirtual

PBoolean PSMTPServer::OnOpen ( )

protectedvirtual

This callback is executed when the Open() function is called with open channels.

It may be used by descendent channels to do any handshaking required by the protocol that channel embodies.

The default behaviour is to simply return true.

Returns

Returns true if the protocol handshaking is successful.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnQUIT ( )

protectedvirtual

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnRCPT ( const PCaselessString &  recipient )

protectedvirtual

Parameters

recipient

Name of recipient.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnRSET ( )

protectedvirtual

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnSAML ( const PCaselessString &  sender )

protectedvirtual

Parameters

sender

Name of sender.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnSEND ( const PCaselessString &  sender )

protectedvirtual

Parameters

sender

Name of sender.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnSendMail ( const PCaselessString &  sender )

protectedvirtual

Parameters

sender

Name of sender.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnSOML ( const PCaselessString &  sender )

protectedvirtual

Parameters

sender

Name of sender.

virtual PBoolean PSMTPServer::OnTextData ( PCharArray &  buffer, PBoolean &  completed  )

protectedvirtual

Read a standard text message that is being received by the socket.

The text message is terminated by a line with a '.' character alone.

The default behaviour is to read the data into the buffer parameter until either the end of the message or when the messageBufferSize bytes have been read.

Returns

true if partial message received, false if the end of the data was received.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnTURN ( )

protectedvirtual

virtual PBoolean PSMTPServer::OnUnknown ( const PCaselessString &  command )

protectedvirtual

Handle an unknown command.

Returns

true if more processing may be done, false if the ProcessCommand() function is to return false.

Parameters

command

Complete command line received.

virtual void PSMTPServer::OnVRFY ( const PCaselessString &  name )

protectedvirtual

Parameters

name	Name to verify.

PBoolean PSMTPServer::ProcessCommand

(

)

Process commands, dispatching to the appropriate virtual function.

This is used when the socket is acting as a server.

Returns

true if more processing may be done, false if the QUIT command was received or the OnUnknown() function returns false.

void PSMTPServer::ServerReset

(

)
