Send Encrypted Email to Multiple Recipients

Demonstrates how to create and send an S/MIME encrypted email to multiple recipients. The digital certificate of each recipient is required. The encrypting/sending process uses each recipient's digital certificate (which internally contains the public key). Each recipient decrypts the received email using his/her private key. C++

    // 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.
    CkMailMan mailman;

    // Set the SMTP server.
    mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.mymailserver.com");

    // Load each recipient's certificate into a Chilkat certificate object.
    // This example loads the certificates from files.  However, the Chilkat
    // certificate object provides other means for loading certificates,
    // such as from in-memory PEM strings, or in-memory binary DER encoded form, etc.
