String sHumanReadableExplanation
Variant vDsnEmail

// A DSN email is a report about the attempt to delivery
// an email. It is usually a report that indicates failure or
// or a delay in delivery. The DSN is typically sent back to
// the sender of an email.
// IMPORTANT:
// Note: Please be careful in sending automated DSN's.
// It is important to be aware of an issue called "backscatter".
// See the Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28e-mail%29
// The ToDsn method will be called to create a new
// DSN email based upon the email object calling ToDsn.
// The email object instance used to call ToDsn would
// typically be an email received from a POP3 or IMAP server.
// In this case, to simplify the example, we'll load the email
// from a .eml file.
// This example will be creating a DSN for "someEmail.eml"
Get ComLoadEml Of hoEmail "someEmail.eml" To iSuccess
If (iSuccess = False) Begin
Get ComLastErrorText Of hoEmail To sTemp1
Showln sTemp1
Procedure_Return
End
// The DSN created by ToDsn will contain a
// "message/delivery-status" MIME sub-part that will
// be composed of a number of name-value pairs.
// See RFC 3464 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3464 )
// The name-value content for this part is passed
// as XML to ToDsn. This part of the example
// prepares the XML:
Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatXml)) To hoXml
If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoXml))) Begin
Send CreateComObject of hoXml
End
// For this example, we're just adding a few name-value pairs.
// These should not be considered to be correct, required or
// even sensible -- it's simply for the example.
Set ComTag Of hoXml To "DeliveryStatusFields"
Send ComNewChild2 To hoXml "Status" "5.1.2 (bad destination system: no such domain)"
Send ComNewChild2 To hoXml "Diagnostic-Code" "smtp; Permanent failure: no such domain"
Send ComNewChild2 To hoXml "X-BounceCategory" "bad-domain"
Get ComGetXml Of hoXml To sXmlStr
// The last argument to be passed to ToDsn will be a boolean
// indicating whether to include the entire MIME of the calling
// email object in the DSN, or only the header.
// It may make sense to include the entire email for small emails,
// but for large emails (with large attachments) it's probably
// best to make the DSN header-only.
Move True To iBHeaderOnly
// The first argument to be passed to ToDsn will
// be a human-readable explanation that will be placed
// into the 1st MIME part of the DSN (see RFC 3464).
Move "Blah blah blah. The delivery of this email failed. Blah blah blah" To sHumanReadableExplanation
// OK, we're ready to create DSN....
Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatEmail)) To hoDsnEmail
If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoDsnEmail))) Begin
Send CreateComObject of hoDsnEmail
End
Get pvComObject of hoDsnEmail to vDsnEmail
