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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.MailMan')
loMailman = CreateObject('Chilkat.MailMan')

* Specify your particular mail server's SMTP settings.
loMailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.my_mail_server.com"
loMailman.SmtpPort = 587
loMailman.StartTLS = 1

* This assumes you know your SMTP server supports NTLM authentication.
* To explicitly request NTLM authentication, set the SmtpAuthMethod property = "ntlm".
loMailman.SmtpAuthMethod = "ntlm"

* Note: Normally you should avoid setting the SmtpAuthMethod.
* SMTP servers tell the connecting client the authentication methods it will accept when the initial connection is made.
* Chilkat will automatically use this information to select and use the most secure auth method supported by the server.

lnUseCurrentWindowsUser = 1

IF (lnUseCurrentWindowsUser = 1) THEN
    * If you are running on Windows, and you wish for the NTLM credentials of the current logged-on Windows user to be used,
    * set the username and password to the string "default"
    loMailman.SmtpUsername = "default"
    loMailman.SmtpPassword = "default"
ELSE
    * Explicitly specify the SMTP username/password
    * The SMTP username is your email account username, which is often your email address.
    loMailman.SmtpUsername = "your_smtp_username_or_email_address"
    loMailman.SmtpPassword = "your_password"
ENDIF

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Email')
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')

loEmail.Subject = "This is a test"
loEmail.Body = "This is a test"
* Don't forget to change this to use your email addresses..
loEmail.From = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>"
lnSuccess = loEmail.AddTo("Chilkat Admin","admin@chilkatsoft.com")
* To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

lnSuccess = loMailman.SendEmail(loEmail)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
