Sending S/MIME Encrypted Email

Sends an encrypted email using the recipient's digital certificate from a .cer file. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
    let mailman = CkoMailMan()!

    // Set the SMTP server.
    mailman.smtpHost = "smtp.comcast.net"

    // Load the .cer file into a certificate object.
    // When sending S/MIME encrypted email, it is the recipient's
    // certificate that is used for encryption.  Only the public key
    // is needed to encrypt.  The recipient is the only
    // one possessing the private key, and therefore is the only
    // one able to decrypt.
    let cert = CkoCert()!
    success = cert.load(fromFile: "cknotes.cer")
    if success == false {
        print("\(cert.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Create a new email object
    let email = CkoEmail()!

    email.subject = "This email is encrypted"
    email.body = "This is a digitally encrypted mail"
    email.from = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>"
    success = email.add(to: "Chilkat Blog", emailAddress: "admin@cknotes.com")

    // Indicate that the email is to be sent encrypted.
    email.sendEncrypted = true

    // Specify the certificate to be used for encryption.
    success = email.setEncryptCert(cert: cert)

    success = mailman.sendEmail(email: email)
    if success != true {
        print("\(mailman.lastErrorText!)")
    }
    else {
        print("Mail Sent!")
    }
