WeOnlyDo! SmtpServer ActiveX control is a component
that can be easily integrated into your applications to
provide full non-relaying Smtp (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol) server implementation.
All you need to do is to put it on VB form, call it's
Start method and it's immediately accepting connections
by your clients! It fully supports commands defined in
RFC2821.
Use your favorite mail client (such as Outlook Express
or Eudora) to send mail to other users on your network
. How? That's easy part: just put SmtpServer control on
your form, add some code around and it's all setup to
be used.
If you dislike adding additional code - it's fine by
Smtp. It will still work, and accept all emails but
delete them immediately after user disconnects. But, if
you define real filename on your disk, all the emails
will be stored to that file. Still, if you want to make
real Smtp server application, look no more for native
support for socket related material - you just found it.
Smtp server will deal with clients and connections -
you must deal with messages. Once new user connects to
your Smtp server, you need to provide some way of
storing message posted by user to some file on disk, or
just read it from Body property and store manually to,
for example, database. This is really easy task. If you
keep all the emails in separate files, that's just
great for usage with WeOnlyDo! Smtp server.
If you prefer to keep it in one large file - we will
not argue about it. You can specify filename, make Smtp
server Append to that file, and everything will still
work just great. As a result, you will have one mailbox
for each user just like on UNIX computers.
Together with WeOnlyDo! Pop3 server, you can make
powerful fully maintained mail service application that
will share emails in your company, receive them from
internet and anything else you can imagine. You can
even create emails for your employees on the fly. You
can make Smtp store to same files from where Pop3 reads
them.
