' 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.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.MailMan")
set mailman = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.MailMan")

' Set the SMTP server (obviously, use your SMTP server, not chilkatsoft.com)
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

' Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.SmtpUsername = "myUsername"
mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword"

' Create a new email object
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Email")
set email = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")

email.Subject = "This is a test"
email.Body = "This is a test"
email.From = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>"
success = email.AddTo("Chilkat Admin","admin@chilkatsoft.com")
' To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

' To send high-priority email, 
' add the X-Priority header field with the value "1" 
' to indicate highest-priority.
' A value of "3" is normal, which is the same as not setting
' the X-Priority header at all, and "5" is the lowest. 
' "2" and "4" are in-betweens.

' Microsoft Outlook might add the following headers when
' sending high-priority email.

' X-Priority: 1 (Highest) 
' X-MSMail-Priority: High 
' Importance: High 

' The X-Priority header alone is enough to make the email high-priority.

email.AddHeaderField "X-Priority","1"

' Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
' The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
' open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
' same connection.  
success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( mailman.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection()
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.") & "</pre>"
End If

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Mail Sent!") & "</pre>"
